But it is astonishing that the attackers were able to penetrate into the police HQ.

Steamboat and Sailboats, Toward Evening and the abstract Polyphony are exercises in Klee's dreamlike version of pointillism, with light and shadow played out in multicolored dots. But 1933 brings an abrupt, definitive change in subject matter and style. The pale, thickly painted watercolor-and- plaster Head of a Martyr fills its small frame with downcast eyes and a battered, gap-toothed mouth. The circular face of Marked Man (1935), painted in scratchy...
