Most of the exhibit's watercolors, drawings, prints and toys still belong to Feininger's widow Julia, and his sons, Painter Lux, Photographer Andreas and Laurence, a priest. The museum's print curator, William Lieberman, persuaded the family to let them be shown for the first time. The most surprising works are the colored comics pages done in Germany for the Chicago Sunday Tribune in 1906. For the first cartoon, Feininger drew a caricature of himself holding his cast of characters by strings like marionettes. He called himself "Uncle Feininger," and his cast included...
...lobby of Washington's Trans-Lux Theater was lined with two rows of Senate pages handing out bright orange programs. The house was full: on hand were 76 Senators (enough to override a presidential veto), Supreme Court Justices Hugo Black and William Brennan, Postmaster General J. Edward Day, USIA Chief Edward R. Murrow, Marine Commandant David M. Shoup, and some 400 lesser lights-all gathered for a private movie showing of Advise and Consent, based on Allen Drury's novel about the U.S. Senate...

Working primarily within the confines of the geometric schools, Feininger nevertheless manages to display a quite extensive diversity of style. His work ranges from tight geometric abstract designs to oils in which objects, Leger-like, resemble machine parts, and loose cubist watercolors reminiscent of Mr. Feininger's father, Lyonel...
Your excellent editorials on the subject of T. Lux Feininger's leaving and the attendant disappearance of Fine Arts 16 and 18 stimulate me to note one or two points which I have been noticing in my four years at Harvard.

Art is now officially nonexistent (though I presume the painters and photographers will continue to work; luckily, there are several good ones here). Creative writing--in sharp contrast to the writing of articles and scholarly works--is marked by a lack...
...elimination of Mr. Lux Feininger's studio courses from the Fine Arts Department (see article below) represents an unfortunate blow to the cause of the creative arts at Harvard. Hopefully the loss will be only temporary and courses in painting and drawing will soon re-emerge under the auspices of the Visual Arts Center; and hopefully they will still retain Mr. Feininger's preocupation with the creative rather than the scholarly approach...
