Whilst space forbids a fuller mention of other
sections now, the portraits of Laszld cannot be
passed over, nor the audacious work by the Russian
Maliavine, nor that of the Dutchman Roelofs.
Taken altogether, the Karlsruhe Exhibition
presents comprehensively the latest evolution in
modem art, and presents it charmingly. F .B.

M. de Beaumont is not
only an exquisite landscapist
and portrait painter, he is a
decorative artist, who has

“ l’etude de la fresque ”;
and this he turned to most effective use later
in his beautiful decoration, wrought in fifteenth
