Among the many big names represented by trivia (Braque, Chagall, Dali, Boccioni, Gauguin, Sutherland), Picasso makes an appearance with two very routine pottery plates decorated with fish; presumably someone thought the old satyr of Vallauris was ruminating on the Christian ichthus...
...After a Stained-Glass Window in the Cluny Museum, dates from 1900, fully a decade before the mutual creation of abstract art by Larionov, Kupka, Kandinsky and Arthur Dove. Amiet's work, though less aggressively avantgarde, is also of more than parochial quality. After his early apprenticeship with Gauguin's disciples in the Pont-Aven group, he never lost his interest in broad, ripe patternings of color. The colors - as in Apple Harvest, 1907 - could attain an ecstatic, ballooning lightness...
...exhibit of Expressionist prints now at the Fogg is ample evidence that this broadly worded statement did not force die Brucke's members into a single style. Gauguin's influence is very strong in Erich Heckel's woodcuts. Ludwig Kirchner, the leader of the group, learned about composition from Matisse (as Dodo Reclining shows). And one of Kirchner's later woodcuts, Dr. Bauer, demonstrates his debt to Picasso...
...which are in the present show, but he balked at Cubism. Schuhkin, however, absorbed it all, from the primitive and enchanted jungles of Henri Rousseau to the most difficult early cubist Picassos, from the bustling impressionist streetscapes of Pissarro to the dense, darkly resonant and sinister vision with which Gauguin, in Tahiti, could invest even a subject like Still-Life with Fruit...

For the cynic who has always envied Paul Gauguin, the Kungsholm departs Jan. 12 for a 94-day voyage to the South Pacific, calling at such Conradic ports as the Marquesas, Moorea and Tahiti. Average fare: about $6,500. For those who prefer the fictional accomplishments of Phileas Fogg (after all, Gauguin died broke), the Gripsholm will allow passengers to go round the world in 86 days, with stops at India, Ceylon and Singapore...
