Spring Exhibitions in Vienna
The spring exhibitions in
VIENNA
Though the exhibition season in Vienna
is already on the wane, the annual shows of the
three chief societies, the Ktinstlergenossenschaft,
the Secession, and the Hagenbund, will remain open
some, two or three weeks longer so that visitors to
the Musical Festival may have an opportunity of
seeing them.
At the Ktinstlerhaus there is an important
collection of works by the Spanish painter Ignacio
Zuloaga, and his appearance in these galleries has
given rise to considerable comment, the honour of
introducing distinguished guests to the Viennese
having hitherto been left to the Secession and' the
Hagenbund. Zuloaga has twice exhibited at the
Secession, and one of his finest works, The Village
Poet, hangs in the Modern Gallery. The largest
room is filled with the works of the great Spanish
master, among them being some which were ex-
hibited at Rome last year. Much has been written
of his art and methods of delineation and interpre-
tation of his characters, and not a little astonish-
ment is expressed at Spain’s refusal to duly recognise
the merits of her perhaps greatest modern painter.
Another Spanish painter of note, Joaquin Sorolla
y Bastida, is represented by two works which in
their sunniness and freshness form a remarkable
contrast to the pictures of Zuloaga hanging in the
next room. Another guest at this exhibition is
the Munich artist Johann Auchtengruber, whose
Frauenbad, white in white, is an important work,
the figures being finely modelled and the flesh
tones admirably treated. Other guests of note are
Emma Ciardi, whose Wreath of Victory is a charm-
ing imagery of an old garden filled with the spirit
of the rococo times ; Johann Pentelei-Molnar, a
Hungarian artist with a very high purpose, whose
picture, Fish, calls to mind all that is best in the
old Dutch painters ; Josef Manyai, another Hun-
garian artist, who shows a capital Still-life; and
Albert Reibmayr, a young artist whose forte lies
in depicting white horses.
Turning to the works of the members of the
Ktinstlergenossenschaft, attention must first be
given to the portraits, which are as usual fairly
numerous. Professor von Angeli exhibits two,
