In Brief
February 6, 1943 issue

The article presents a list of books and authors. This is the second war whose horrors Frans Masereel has expressed pictorially in "Danse Macabre," He does it even less well now than the first time. There are skeletons, cannon, explosions, masses of tortured people-the obvious made more so in black and white. Masereel's line has become thick, straight, and coarse, devoid of inflection, unable to note anything that does not leap up at a casual glance. Every pictorial idea is reduced to its most banal version. Any one drawing gives only too correct an indication of what all the others are like.
