Main Article:

Title: Shows That Vary from Floral Art to Abstraction
Subtitle: Water Color and Lithographe, Art Club Exhibit, German Work, Current List

Content:
The article discusses two distinct art exhibitions currently on display in contemporary Germany. The first exhibition features the work of Fritz Winter and Josef Albers at the Germanic Museum, showcasing a contrast between their styles. Winter's work is described as provocative and abstract, hinting at a sensitive, eclectic draftsman with a strong end-colors sense. Albers' work, on the other hand, is noted for its mathematical showmanship and a feeling of homecoming in their method of expression.

The article suggests that the exhibition might be a precursor to a larger phase of pure brushwork, highlighting the different artistic approaches between the two artists.

Additionally, the article mentions that the exhibition is notable for its range, from the aesthetic appeal of Der Fushter and Herr Dali to smaller galleries showcasing watercolors and drawings.
