| Contents | thanks him for a copy of Warburg's article ['Die Wandbilder']; Warburg's judgment is very strict, but Köster agrees with Warburg; he saw the murals and was bored with them, found them dreary; he saw the sketches for the paintings at Commeter'sche Kunsthandlung und Verlagsanstalt and had to shake his head: they had not grown organically, but mechanically; he would have wished something grander for Hamburg; he is very happy when he sits down in Leipzig and looks at the paintings in the assembly hall ['Aula' of the university] |
