groups, they were huddled together with little refer-
ence to harmony of colour. In such a chaos it was
difficult to pick out the good from the indifferent
and bad.

Prominent among the landscapes were those by
Maron Mednyansky (already known to the readers of
The Studio), who again showed himself a keen
observer of nature. In Gyula Agghazy's bright and
breezy landscapes of Lovrana on the Austrian Riviera,
the colouring was an attractive feature; and another
facile landscape painter is Sandor Nyilassy, in whose
landscapes the lyric note is also prominent. Oscar
Mendlik proved himself highly successful as a marine
painter. Victor Agyai's essays in tempera and pastel,
mostly snow scenes, and some strong and animated
studies in oil by Trigyes Miesz, should be named, as
well as the excellent work shown by Margit Vesyi, a
talented young girl artist. Cezar Herrer, Hugo Poll,
Oedon Lechner, Pentelei-Molnar and Mme. Margit
Molnar Veszy, are others who showed good work, and
a word of praise must be given to the excellent pencil
portrait drawings of Oscar Glatz. Among the por-

traitists, Gyula Glatter, the winner of the
gold medal, was the most prominent.

Not much sculpture was exhibited, but
some of it was excellent, as for instance a
portrait-bust of a lady by Ede Teles,
Imre Simay's bronze bust of Bela III.,
King of Hungary (1174-96), (part of the
model for a monument to be erected to that
monarch's memory) and Edmond Moriet's
work. Josef Rona's carved wood figures of
Joseph and Potiphar showed that he under-
stands the uses to which wood may be
put in sculpture. He handles his material
with dexterity, and gives life and tone to
the hard substance. He has deservedly
gained recognition for his work. A. S. L.

The two friezes and large mural painting

Budapest, and being done in fresco they
have a special interest, since the medium
