characteristics which are considered here—wrongly perhaps—
to be English rather than Austrian ■ certainly her methods
generally are widely different from those of Austrian artists at
large. Her religious pictures won warm sympathy, and, what
is more, purchasers. Her best work was an interior of a
fisherman’s cottage, with a woman busy repairing the nets. In
this work there is evidence of great delicacy of manipulation.
With his restless search for fresh fields, Johann Victor
Kramer, who is among those who have seceded from the
Secession, always offers something new. This time he has
gone to Mostar and Sarajevo, and these ancient cities have
provided him with new and varied motives for a budget of
water-colour drawings, executed with that fidelity to truth and
delicacy of treatment which are always found in the work of
this artist. Of other landscape painters, Antonin Slavicek
showed very good work in a series of small oil paintings repre-
senting scenes from Prague—bits of old buildings, streets, and
markets vibrating with life. In his larger pictures also he
shows remarkable vigour, combined with tenderness of expres-
sion and a happy interpretation of light effects.
A sextette of young Poles, comprising Franz von Zulow,
Kasimir Sichulski, Henryk Uziemblo, Jan Bulas and Georg
Bulas, and Georg Merkel, were well represented at the Hagen-
bund. Each of them has his own characteristics, but all
their pictures breathe of their racial kinship. Alois Kalwoda
was excellent in his Winter Sun, the play of sunlight on the
design, cut the blocks,
and print them, every stage
of the process being the
object of earnest thought
and care.
The twenty-third exhi-
bition of the Hagenbund
was of more than usual
interest, for, being devoted
to works by Austrian artists
generally, contributions
were sent from those living
in the various Crown lands
and in foreign countries.
The works by Marianne
Stokes, who is an Austrian,
a native of Graz, in Styria,
attracted much attention
and elicited general admi-
ration, especially her por-
trait of Mrs. Garrett
Anderson in her scarlet
doctor’s robe. Notwith-
standing her native origin,
however, her art has
