LION FOR MONUMENT TO THE LATE BY OTTO RICHTER

Berlin. — in
monumental
sculpture, and
in connection
with architecture, what may
be called the Wallot style
now prevails in Berlin. The
Reichstag Chambers are
the high school for decora-
tive art, and Wallot gave his
art colleagues commissions
on a scale of unheard-of
magnitude. The staff of
artists trained by this archi-
tecthas since exerted all its
powers on the other public
buildings of the city and
introduced Wallot’s taste

Since the establishment
of the “Autumn Salon”
we have at each display an
ensemble exhibition of the
work of a departed artist
—a touching tribute on the
partof the living tothe dead.
Thus, following Toulouse-
Lautrec and Puvis de
Chavannes, we are now
able to see an exhibition
devoted to Ingres and
Manet.

In this way the Salon
d’Automne proclaims its
absolute eclecticism and its
admiration of artists of the
most widely varying ten-
dencies ; and high praise is
due to those responsible for
the simultaneous honouring
of Manet, the great indepen-
dent, and Ingres, the great
classic.

M. Ringel d’Illzach, while
successfully practising the
art of ceramic work, is still
the excellent sculptor we
have long known him to be,
and we are now reproducing
two charming medallions by
his hand. IT. L.
