...sparkling portrait of Victor Huge is in the place of honor at the exhibition "Romantic Illustration in France," which will remain at the Fogg Museum throughout the month. Beside the lithograph of Achille Deveria -- lent by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston -- is a pencil sketch by Hugo of a hill town and an impression of his unique etching "Lightning." Beneath, a copy of Delacroix's "Faust" is opened at the lithograph showing Marguerite in Church. The keynote of the exhibition is set by this central group; the remaining displays amplify the union of author and artist...

Occasionally Kaethe Kollwitz' technique of exaggerating significant details to grotesqueness for emphasis makes the work difficulty intelligible. At her best, as in the lithograph "Brot" she achieves striking beauty with remarkable simplicity and economy of line. Most powerful of the exhibits are the series of fascinating self-portraits, versions of "The Widow II," the conventional "Dance Around the Guillotine," and the symbolic "Hunger's Whip." Dr. Kuhn is to be congratulated for bringing such an exhibit to the Germanic Museum...
