Studio- Talk
BUST BY AUGUSTE RODIN
M. Pierre Calmettes, the indefatigable secretary
of the society, makes interior paintings his
speciality. He has followed his remarkable
series of pictures executed in the house of M.
Anatole France by another series of five exceed-
ingly brilliant paintings done in the Musee des
Arts Decoratifs. M. Desire' - Lucas showed a
charming interior of a mill and two pastel studies.
M. Augustin Rey was represented by vigorous
water-colours of the Haute Engadine, and M. Le
Meilleur by some etchings. M. Harry van der
Weyden exhibited nine pictures which attracted
me, as his paintings always do, by their bold
execution and their truth to nature. The most
important of these canvases reminded me some-
what of Michael, for in it I saw the same lowering
sky, the same sombre earth; and it is strange to find
this artist's work approximating, a century after-
wards, to that of the father of the Barbizon school.
Decorative Art was represented at the Eclectique
by the work of other artists. The numerous ex-
hibits of M. Jean Dunand were of premier
importance, and in his manipulation of copper,
pewter and of lead, this artist shows masterly
skill. M. Eugene Feuillatre makes no pause in
his progress — each one of his enamels marks a
fresh step forward upon the road of success. The
jewellery shown by Rivaud, the wrought iron work
of Robert, and Mme. Le Meilleur's embroideries
completed an interesting ensemble.
At the Galerie de l'Art Moderne, in the rue
Tronchet, M. Diaz Vasquez has been exhibiting
some pictures of vigorous and sincere execution.
Among the Spanish artists who make Paris their
home during a portion of the year, M. Vasquez
compels our notice by the fidelity—a little brutal
at times, though this is no bad thing—with which
he sets himself to render the nature and the life of
his country. M. Lunois also has made a visit to
Spain, and has Returned with some excellent work
done during his stay in that country. His work in
oils and pastel is less well known than his etching,
but his pictures evince the same excellent, qualities
of colouring and picturesqueness, and especially
I was pleased with L'Jicole de Danse a Triana,
L Ordination a Salamanque, La Guitarera,
Concha la Danseuse. H. F.
IENNA.—The Winter exhibition at the
Kiinstlerhaus proved a very attractive
one, although it was a small one in
comparison with those of former years.
Portraits were fewer than usual, a notable absentee
