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.
