The “Cercle pour l’Art ”
celebrated its tenth anni-
versary by a very inter-
esting exhibition, the mem-
bers keeping their newest
and best work for the occa-
sion. Dominating all else
was the exhibit by V.
Rousseau, the sculptor, who
sent a monumental group
of three figures, Les
Sceurs de VIllusion (in-
VIGN®
MM. Cassiers, Hage-
mans, Uytterschaut, and
Van Leemputten sent inter-
esting landscapes of Hol-
land and Belgium; M.
Delaunois contributed some
of his churches, impressive
by their deep gloom ; M.
F. Charlet, his coloured
interiors ; M. Jacob Srnits,
portraits and religious
scenes ; M. C. Meunier, a
picture of a miner; and
finally, MM. D. Oyens and
Eugene Smits sent several
delicate and intime things.
Water-Colours was held in the galleries of the
Musee de Bruxelles, and attracted a large number
of visitors. As a whole, it was a remarkable dis-
play, and it included several works of a high order.
French art was represented by two ardent colourists,
MM. G. La Touche and Luigini ; German art by
two enterprising personalities, MM. Dettmann and
Skarbina; and English art by Mr. C. W. Bartlett,
faithful to all that is Dutch. M. Nico Jungmann
exhibited his Procession de Pclerins de Kevelar,
which was reproduced some time since in The
Studio. Notable among the works of foreign
exhibitors were the interesting landscapes by
M. F. de Myrbach and M. P. Rink’s fishermen.
But the chief merit of the exhibition lay in the
Belgian display, particularly
in the works sent in by
MM. Stacquet, Fernand
Khnopff, A. Marcette, Th.
Hannon, and Titz, which
have been purchased by
the Government for the
Musee de Bruxelles.
tended for the adornment of a fountain), an eques-
trian statuette, and the bust of a young woman.
The group is quite masterly, skilfully and clearly
composed, calm and grand in its sentiment, but as
far removed from the academic as it is from the
coarseness of conception and treatment which
marks so much of our modern Belgian sculpture.
M. Laermans showed his firm qualities as a
colourist in two canvases which attracted much
attention. The exhibits of MM. Fabry (decorative
panels), Baes, Coppens (landscapes and Flemish
“ interiors ”), and Ottevaere (a triptych) showed
the good results due to honest work. The usual
excellence was seen in the paintings sent in by
Verhaeren, Janssens, Vandeneeckhoudt, and Vierin,
