International studio (19.1903)

Kolo Moser. And on this artistic dark back-
grouttd are hung the pictures exhibited by Count
Leopold Kalckreuth, director of the School of
Art, Stuttgart. These are very varied, but may
be divided into interiors, portraits and land-
scapes.

In another room, arranged by Leopold Bauer,
the chief interest is a AaZ?//, at one end of which
isawall fountain (see page 57); the water-carrier, in
gilded wrought copper, being the work of Friedrich
Konig. The shown in the same picture
was designed by Friedrich Konig and executed by
Otto Schmidt. It is of grey maple, inlaid with
palisander.

The illustration on this page shows another part
of the same roorn, with a sideboard of dark
palisander, which contains some beautiful silver
and glass, designed by Professors Josef Hofmann
and Kolo Moser, and executed by V. Mayer & Sons
and E. Bakalowitz. The large marble bust on the
right is the work of Theodor von Gosen, of Munich,

while the bronze one on the left was donc by
Alfonso Canciani. Both are vigorous in execution,
and well carried out. The altar-piece at the further
end of the room was designed by Professor Roller,
and woven by Leopoldine Gutmann. It is a noble
piece of work, though the colours, greens, blues
and chromes, are somewhat crude; but the terra-
cottas of the right wing are very hne. The effect
from a distance is very striking.

The illustration at the foot of page 55 shows
a number of pieces of sculpture, including
Ai27v7'7zg, by A. Bartholome, and TXg A77-J/ (Gwt-
77;?/7?f<77z and 7% AwT- &aw7Zj', by R. de Saint-
Marceaux. Another fine piece of sculpture is the
work of George Minne, destined for the grave of
the well-known poet, Rodenbach. It is of white
marble, and represents the beautifully chiselled,
pathetic half-Iength figure of a sorrowing woman.

There are many <fa7-7 in this Exhibition.
C. R. Ashbee (London) and Edgar Simpson
(Nottingham) have sent some very good specimens
