it is an outcome of this that students are already
able to have practical experience of hand-weaving,
the potter’s wheel, the needle in embroidery,
metal-work, calico printing, and other simple
technical work. So far the results have been
highly satisfactory. Professor Moser’s whole
strength is devoted to the task he has before him ;
he is a conscientious teacher, and takes a keen
interest in his pupils’ work and welfare generally.
This is not surprising, for it is only natural that so
good an artist should be a good teacher, for only
those who are truly gifted can show the path to
others. A. S. Levetus.
We have received the following communication
from our Antwerp correspondent. “The Triennial
Exhibition of 1904 was a very successful one.
Although it contained, like all its predecessors,
two or even three hundred exhibits which were
works of art in name only, about half the rooms
were occupied by a series of paintings and
sculptures of striking individuality and of original
composition. It is important to note that, for
the first time for many years, this exhibition
triumphantly asserts the renaissance of the Ant-
werp School, which for so many years has been
hampered by old-fashioned rules and conventions.
It is a good sign that this renaissance is chiefly
due to a return to sincerity, not to the following
of some formula, which must of necessity be a
merely temporary movement. It is represented by
a large group of artists, the eldest of whom has
not yet reached his 40th year, whilst the majority
are but now making their first appearance. In a
word, they adopt no special style and form neither
a club nor a school, for each paints in his own way
without regard to his neighbours’ proceedings.
The most noteworthy pictures of the Exhibition
were from the following artists:—Baertsoen, Buysse,
E. Claus, F. Charlet, J. Smits, K. Mertens, E..
Laermans, Hens, R. Baseleer, de Laet, Morren,,
van Mieghen, Vaes, Mutsers, Opsomer, Roessing,
Posenaer, Gogo, Bosiers, Crahay, Ernest, Hage-
man, Vloors, Wiethase, T. Verstraete, Luyten,.
de Smeth, Looymans, Rul, Verhaert, Farasijn,
J. Diercken, Mile. Marcotte, J. de Vriendt, J. Ros-
seels, E. Verstraeten, de Sadeleer, Gustav de Smet,
Mme. A. de Weert, Willaert, von Cauwelaert
Verheyden, M. Melsen, A. Ronner, R. Wytsman,.
Mme. Wytsman, Franck, and Coppens.
