This week West Germans will have an opportunity to examine yet another side of Kolář's talent at Bremen's Overbeck Gesellschaft Gallery, which will display 180 examples of his "poems of object."

Before the Russians could join their allies in Austria, Napoleon rushed across Germany to meet the Austrians alone at Ulm and attacked from the rear. Ulm fell, and Austria surrendered 60,000 soldiers, the main body of its army, to Napoleon. At this point, the Russians lumbered up.
