...exile, Jawlensky retreated further into himself, began painting the series of abstract mood poems that show his color sense at its peak. After the war he returned to Germany, only to have the Nazis in 1939 declare his art "degenerate."

Some see him as an overelaborate, rather cute stylist; others brush aside what they feel are merely trappings and hail Lamb as one of the kindest, most generous men that ever lived. Editor Matthews manages to include all these Lambs in his selection and to write what is probably the truest, briefest epitaph: "His friends loved him: his friends still...
