...have to finish once and for all with the current of French tradition, which almost totally dominates German painting," Grosz wrote to a friend as the first World War was ending. "We have to finish with these weary painters of sentiment and vagueness, Cezanne, Picasso and the rest." Certainly, for the first 20 years of the century, the current between the avant-garde of the two capitals ran only from Paris to Berlin.

That sentiment has surely been voiced by many an expectant parent, and Gilbert John Brown, 38, a British truck driver, is no exception. His wife Lesley, 30, is scheduled to give birth shortly.
