...Bauhaus movement initiated a more theoretical phase in Feininger's work and secured his place amongst the greatest artists of the 20th century, though many of his colleagues have over-shadowed him. In 1924 when Kandinsky formed Der Blaue Vier, a reference to his earlier Munich group Der Blaue Reiter, Feininger went with him along with Paul Klee and Alexei von Jawlensky (whose works are also currently on display at the Busch-Reisinger). Teaching and producing with the group brought Feininger from there to the new Dessau Bauhaus and to Berlin where Klee and Kandinsky, in particular, expounded their famous...

An A should be a goal worth striving for, not something to be taken for granted. In discounting the possibility that grading policy can be used to elicit better work, Ms. Reiter demonstrates beyond all doubt that she has never taught Harvard students. Here, as elsewhere, easy grading breeds apathy...
