Studio- Talk
in an arbour situated in
a park-like garden. Two
other pictures must also
be mentioned, neither of
them so important as
the first-named, but both
charming and interesting,
giving glimpses into his
home-life, for they also
represent bits of the garden
of his summer residence,
with his daughters intro-
duced as figures in the
landscape.
With Fritz von Uhde
must be named another of
the older masters whose
works are remarkably fine.
We allude to Christian
Landenberger, who ex-
hibited two beautiful in-
teriors of peasants’ huts in
the Black Forest, and a
■large open-air subject, Two
boys bathing in a forest lake.
The nude bodies, gleaming
white in the bright sun-
shine, stand out vividly
against a background of
dark green trees bordering
the water. The treatment
is altogether original, as
is the case in all the
excellent landscape work
produced by the members
of the Secessionist Society,
such as Benno Becker,
Paul Crodel, Bernhard But-
tersack, Theodor Hummel, Richard Kaiser, W. H.
Lehmann, and others. Philipp Klein is also
very successful with his portraits, painted in the
open-air with very happy results, the personality
of the sitter being admirably brought out, whilst
the atmospheric effects of the environment are
most truly rendered. Very noteworthy, too, were
the portraits by Margarethe von Kurowski, with
their finely rendered greyish-gold tones ; and
another lady, Sophie von Scheve, showed no little
skill in her work.
A very special feature of this year’s Spring Exhi-
bition was the great advance made by many young
artists, who, though they have not yet come into
FROM A DRAWING BY ANGELO JANK
the full possession of their powers, have produced
many works giving great promise for the future.
Some of them have already become known to the
regular visitors to the gallery; but, for all that,
their pictures are something of a revelation on
account of their increased power of seeing nature
truly, and their great advance in technique. This is
especially the case with certain pupils of the dis-
tinguished animal painter Heinrich Zuegel, who
this year, as on two previous occasions, had a whole
room reserved for them. Hansvon Hayek devotes
himself, more than the rest of the group to which
he belongs, to pure landscape, but without altogether
omitting the figures of animals. Rudolf Schramm-
Zittau and Emmanuel Hegenbarth are especially
