...only upon looking at German watercolors that the question of the value of these artists arises. The German contemporary painter seems to delight in broad washes of bright color. It seems that only here does their technique begin to break down. Take Karl Zerbe's "Still Life" for instance. In this picture there are wide paths of color applied with a large brush, and all the interest of the artist is primarily in contrasting and mixing shades. The lemons on the table are lacking in form, and the glass is nothing but an outline of white. The whole has little...
