Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Contemporary German Graphic Art AN exhibition of drawings, lithographs, etch ings, and woodcuts by German artists ought naturally to prove far more stimulating than one made up of paintings, for even if we go back as far as Diirer we will be forced to admit that his paintings are not as refreshing or im pressive as his graphic works, and the same is true of practically all the great German mas ters, with the possible exception of Menzel and Leibl. Germany's artistic genius has always been distinctly graphic, and while it is impos sible to survey the whole existing field at all exhaustively within the limits of a short essay, one can without delay commence with the names of the three great living leaders, Max Klinger, Hans Thoma, and Max Liebermann, who tower above their compatriots.

What does it mean to turn the public library or museum into a civic forum? Made in Newark describes a turbulent industrial city at the dawn of the twentieth century and the ways it inspired the library's outspoken director, John Cotton Dana, to collaborate with industrialists, social workers, educators, and New Women. This is the story of experimental exhibitions in the library and the founding of the Newark Museum Associationùa project in which cultural literacy was intertwined with civics and consumption. Local artisans demonstrated crafts, connecting the cultural institution to the department store, school, and factory, all of which invoked the ideal of municipal patriotism. Today, as cultural institutions reappraise their relevance, Made in Newark explores precedents for contemporary debates over the ways the library and museum engage communities, define heritage in a multicultural era, and add value to the economy.
