Studio-Talk
The number of works of sculpture shown at the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts was
considerably greater than usual, and they were
quite up to, if
not in advance
of, the standard
of excellence
that has been
the rule. The
mostprominent
and successful
con tribut ors
were Mr. Chas.
Grafly, Mr.
Alexander Ster-
ling Calder,
Mr. Herbert
Adams, Mr.
Herman Mac-
Neil, and Mr.
F. G. R. Roth.
All these clever
sculptors were
seen at their
best.
E. C.
the late Jules Ualou—shows plainly the strength
of his talent, his energy, and at the same time
the flexibility of his modelling. He has suc-
ceeded in catching and “ fixing ” with great power
the features of the lamented master of French
statuary—one of the greatest after Rodin. M. Peter
deserves the fullest praise for the simplicity of his
design. Some medallists there are—and those by
no means the least notable—who give one the
impression of trying to crowd too many ideas
within the limits of their restricted area. The
moderation of M. Peter will gratify all who prefer
that each branch of art should be kept within its
proper borders. Modern glyptics can but gain by
being freed from complicated allegory, and allowed
to march boldly forward in the direction of Truth.
Our other illustrations show some interesting
work recently completed by M. Alexandre
Charpentier and M. ProuvA
BUDAPEST.—All lovers of art have been
attracted to the Spring Exhibition of
English pictures, arranged with exquisite
taste by Mr. George Sauter. Prominent
among these works are exhibits by Neven du

Peter occupies a
foremost place in
the brilliant school
of French medallists with
whose work M. Roger Marx
has made the readers of The
Studio familiar. The medal
