in this department being Mr. John Quincy Adams,
who was unable to contribute owing to illness.
W. V. Krausz showed some good examples of his
art, in particular a portrait of the well-known actor,
Herr Gerasch, as "Tasso" in Goethe's drama of
the same name, and a portrait of the dancer, Lily
Berger, the latter being fine in colour and effect.
Nicolaus Schattenstein's portraits of women have
during the last few years become a prominent
feature of the Kiinstlerhaus exhibitions. On this
occasion he was well represented by a portrait he
has lately painted of Prof. Heinrich von Angeli,
President of the Kunstlergenossenschaft and him-
self renowned as a portrait-painter. Heinrich
Rauchinger's portraits always attract attention at
these shows; they are essentially vigorous in treat-
ment, particularly those of men, and both
composition and colouring are strong points with
him. Among the other contributors in this sphere
were Victor^ Scharf, Eduard Veith, Paul Joano-
witch and David Kohn—the last a remarkably
able artist who has a predilection for red chalks.
Jehudo Epstein, who also belongs to the chief
portraitists of the Kiinstlerhaus, exhibited a small
collection of his pictures, which proved that the
plane he has attained is a high one, and at the
same time that his ideals are thoroughly sound
and based on sure artistic principles. His fresco
scenes testified to his skill in composition and
management of light effects, and his studies of
the lagoons of Venice furnished further testimony
to this. Particularly pleasing in tone and ren-
dering of atmosphere were his Alte Brilcke and
1m Wasser, an admirable study of reflections,
and again in Inierieur aus Burane, an intimate
piece of painting. This same intimate feeling was
discernible in Victor Scharf's Dutch Interior, a
very interesting work. Adolf Kaufmann, in his
Canal in Bruges, must be credited with a very
successful rendering of this old-world motif.
Among others who sent good work were Eduard
Kasparides, Alfred von Fliigel, Victor Rudolf von
Mehoffer, Albert Schwarz, Alfred Wesemann, Josef
Kinzel, Hans Larwin and Karl Scholz.
The picturesque old towns and villages along
the Danube have inspired more than one artist,
as for instance Max Suppantschitsch, Oskar Grill,
who works in coloured chalks, and Eduard Zetsche.
Ferdinand Brunner is making good progress in
his work, which is characterised by purity of colour
and a sensitive touch. Karl Pippich is another
artist who favours old - time motives. Franz
