...pals over the head with a golf club, pummeled a little Negro boy while a goat nibbled his woolly hair. Other kids followed: the Katzenjammers ("Mit dose kidds, society iss nix"), Buster Brown, Little Nemo, and the long-gone Kinder Kids, a strip exquisitely drawn by the cubist artist Lyonel Feininger...
...LYONEL FEININGER-Associated American Artists, 605 Fifth Ave. at 49th. Feininger taught graphics at the Bauhaus, was a prolific printmaker himself, but there have been few important showings of his prints. These 100, mostly woodcuts, and all of "Ships and Seas," show his artistry on red, yellow, ocher and pink paper, and his humor-one 1910 etching is signed "Leinol Einfinger." Through...

Lyonel Feininger is represented by a Toy City with People, 17 carved and painted wooden pieces as finely wrought as his satiric cartoons.

The gift is charmingly displayed in a new show called "The Intimate World of Lyonel Feininger," at Manhattan's Museum of Modern...
...smoking chaos of shattered walls and furniture and bodies, survivors thought the city must have been hit by an atomic bomb. Many of them joined hands in human chains to guide each other outside. Photographs of the blasted mass of wreckage had an eerie unreality, suggesting the paintings of Lyonel Feininger. Fire Commissioner Edward Thompson later diagnosed the disaster as a probable failure of automatic devices designed to regulate the boiler's water level. The toll: 21 dead, 86 injured...
