...radical figurative art in Northern Europe between about 1905 and 1930. But as Selz rightly insists in his catalogue essay, it was less a style than a cluster of attitudes. The major expressionist painters-Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, August Macke, Max Pechstein, Franz Marc, Emil Nolde, Max Beckmann, Oskar Kokoschka, Lyonel Feininger-did have formal traits in common. Harsh, dissonant color that blared fitfully from an unrefined surface; jagged shapes, broken-bottle cubism, an appetite for the primitive in drawing; masklike faces, Gothic poses, extreme jumps of tone between limelight and gloom: the sum of these was not so much...
...Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus, migrated to Cambridge. He headed Harvard's Graduate School of Design, brought associate Gyorgy Kepes to MIT, and inspired a Bauhaus focus at the Busch-Reisinger. His gift of half the exhibited graphics (the other half were given this year by Lyonel Feininger, a long-time Bauhaus faculty member and his wife) is a dazzling portion of the Busch's substantial Bauhaus collection. Beyond that, the museum could easily have borrowed around Cambridge, a last stronghold of the Bauhaus. The Bauhaus teaching method, which emphasizes perceptual rather than emotional qualities of art, has become...

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...
...show purports to demonstrate "playfulness" in modern art, and in many cases it does. Lyonel Feininger is represented by a Toy City with People, 17 carved and painted wooden pieces as finely wrought as his satiric cartoons. One diminutive inhabitant is a girl no more than an inch high whose brown pigtails fly out from her head like helicopter rotors. Marisol (that's the only name she uses) checked in with a doll of a self-portrait-a foam rubber figure 3 ft. tall, with one red velvet lip, one of red silk. The doll looks like Marisol...
