International studio (25.1905)

"THE MERRY-GO-ROUND

BY T. W. DUPUIS

appears to me to incline somewhat too strongly
towards Mack—M. Iturrino, M. Crebassa, and M.
Bereny with two excellent portraits.

Bloche; nor must I forget a collection of sculp-
tures by Prince Troubetzkoy.

There was good work too among the sculpture,
notably the bust of Af. by Jean Boucher,
a statuette by Claudel, two delicate and charming
busts by Gustave Michel, and other things by
Gasq, Mme. Girardet, Camille Lefevre, and Roger


The great attraction of the International Exhibi-
tion this year lies in the exhibits of foreign painters,
prominent among whom is M. Felix Borchardt.
This robust colourist owes to Impressionism his
fearless treatment of light, which he handles with
remarkable skill and uncommon felicity. Already
his portrait of a man stand-
ing in full sunlight had
revealed to us some of his
bold and energetic qualities;
and in the portraits of two
ladies, now exhibited, there
is equal boldness and a
greater charm.

PORTRAITS OF TWO LADIES

BY F. BORCHARDT

In this work one ap-
preciates not only its
charming but
(and I remark it the more
gladly since it is a quality
often lacking in Impression-
ist painting) its extreme rich-
ness of treatment. One feels
that the artist must have
worked at his canvas again
and again, and with the
most gratifying results.
