titled 'yThe Exact Instant, Events
and Faces in 100 Years Of News
Photography" 1t Is fascinating
Jacob Kainen's % etchings'
autographs, aquatints and dry
points constitute 15-year retro
spective with no representation
however. for the years 1941-l945)
The collection is not arranged
chronologically, but 1t should not
prove difficult for the average visi-
tor to study Mr.. Kainen's develop
ment during the period. The first
six years,are accounted for by 10
autographs. some in colors. These
are comparatively naturalistic. but
much simplified. and executed IN
heavy lines and strong, dark or
brightly colored masses. They
depict largely industrial themes
and those with social content.
Etchings, drypoints and aqua
ttnts have occupied Mr.. Kainen
since 1916. These have become
increasingly abstract. more linear,
with decorative design motifs in
troduced for their own sakes, and
in some cases, for textural effects.
The artists major interest in his
earlier work was people. In the
later prints, rococo architectural
oddities, street scenes and some
landscape. have captured more OF
his attention.
I'm my earlier work." said Mr..
Kainen, IT leaned rather heavily
on nature, although was hardly
literal. I do not regret this phase,
because it saturated my mind with
the forms and colors of the world
and provided an indispensable
basis for my present development.
