International studio (35.1908)

Hungarian Art at Earl's Court
men ; but the drawing, Thy Kingdom
Come, by Alexander Nagy also de-
serves to be remembered. This list
of works does not by any means
exhaust the special features of the
pictorial section of the exhibition, but
it is sufficient to give people who are
interested in the activity of the Hun-
garian artists an idea of the directions
in which this activity is tending. Cer-
tainly no one can complain that the
collection is too narrow in scope or
that it illustrates a stereotyped set of
beliefs ; its dominant note is a very
refreshing unconventionality.

At the last general meeting of the
Society of Twenty-five Painters, Mr.
A. D. Peppercorn was elected a mem-
ber, and Mr. Terrick Williams and Mr.
Sydney Lee were unanimously elected
to fill the offices of Honorary Trea-
surer and Honorary Secretary respec-
tively, Mr. W. Llewellyn and Mr.
Alfred Withers having retired from
these posts.
“ON THE BRIDGE” BY FRANCIS OLGYAY


There are oil paintings like Daniel
Mihalik’s Trefoil Fields and The Bala-
ton-, Francis Olgyay’s beautifully decora-
tive On the Bridge, and Lajos Szlanyi’s
finely understood snowy landscapes,
Morning Hoar Frost and Winter After-
noon, in which, and in several others
little less important, the evidence of a
personal conviction is not to be dis-
puted. And in the same room there
are such things as Victor Olgyai’s clever
lithograph, Winter on the Banks of the
Garam ■ Andrew Szekely’s frank and
expressive water-colour, Boulevard in
Paris, and the same artist’s wood en-
gravings, A Dutch Street and Beguinoge,
which are technical essays of a very
attractive kind. Some other memor-
able works in various mediums are hung
in another room occupied by the mem-
bers of a second group, the Godollo Art
Colony, and of these things perhaps the
best are the pencil and pen-and-ink
sketches by Arpad Juhasz, who is em-
phatically to be counted among the best
of modern black-and-white draughts-
