FASTEL STUDY BY STANtSLAW WYSPIANSKI

sion. Of Josef Mehoffer's designs for stained-
giass windows, friezes, and other works, much
might aiso be said; but this too I must reserve
for another time. A. S. L.

T ERLIN.—During the past season the
] ^ Konigliche Kunstgewerbe Museum
B arranged an exhibition of neediework
for teachers to enliven the methods
of this subject. Pupils' work had been seiected
from different schoois in the country to show
how articies of utiiity, dresses and iinen, could
be cut, sewn and ornamented, instead of fiHing
the lessons with mereiy mechanicai exercises.
i he second section of this exhibition was the
reaiiy artistic part, as it contained oniy modei

portraits, deiicate in tone and coiour, notabiy
that of Princess Czartoryska, a harmony in
yeilow and white, and the study here repro-
duced. Ferdynand Ruszczyc showed some de-
lightful interiors and creeper-clad houses in
their richest autumn shades of reds and red-
browns; Josef Czajkowski's
is a poetical rendering of an old bit of Cracow,
with tall trees in the foreground. Leon Wyczol-
kowski appeared in a twofold aspect—a painter
of still-Iife, and an etcher. In the latter capa-
city he shows great power and resolute indi-
viduaiity; in the former true feeling for harmony
in colour and hneness of conception. Two of
his Hower pieces impressed me—one depicting
marsh marigolds in a blue jar, a delightful piece
of colouring; and the other a cluster of dark red
roses in a grey pot. Julian Falat's contribu-
tions were worthy examples of this artist's
method ; Olga Boznawska's portraits in many
respects were highly praiseworthy—they show
character and individuality; but I have in
mind some Aner examples of her work than
any shown on this occasion. Woyciech Weiss,
Karol Tichy, Josef Pankiewicz, Wlodzimerz
Tetmajer, Edward Trojanowski, Eugeniusz
Zak, were all worthily represented.

The exhibition was also strong in plastic
art, the principal contributors here being
Edward Wittig, Konstanty Laszczka, Xawery
Dunikowski, and Anastazy Lepla : space, how-
ever, will not allow me to deal with them indi-
vidually, so I must defer this to a future occa- cusmoK
