...Lyonel Feininger is so well known for his prismatic paintings of land, sea and city scenes that his earlier career as a major caricaturist is all but forgotten. Though born in the U.S. and always a U.S. citizen, he went to Berlin in 1894, started working for German newspapers, made himself Germany's foremost cartoonist.

...critics and dealers. On the theory that what may seem trivial today could be important tomorrow, the Archives will accept or buy just about anything. It has more than a million original and microfilmed items, among them Benjamin West's wine bills, poems written by Albert Ryder, a Lyonel Feininger sketchbook, the notes and papers of Walt Kuhn. Last week it announced an offbeat donation from Painter Jack Levine-108 drawings that show his prodigious childhood talent...
