Studio-Talk
Day, the scene being taken from the Tatra forests.
The magnificent forms of the mighty beeches and
the fine, sombre colouring characteristic of these
forests are rendered with a vigour and breadth which
justify one in calling this picture a masterpiece of
its kind. Andor Dudits sent some mystic landscapes
depicted in delicate tones and with a fine view to
decorative effect. Viktor Olgyai, whose works are
well known to readers of this magazine, showed some
fine landscapes in pastel, the motives being the early
spring. His work is always interesting and lingers
long in the memory. His silhouettes of dreamy
pine-trees are poetic conceptions always revealing
new beauties. Edvi Illes seeks his motives in the
confines of Hungary, where he finds those bushy
trees and deep black waters of which he is
enamoured, or in those strictly Hungarian villages
which are as yet untouched by the march of civili-
sation. In rendering such themes he is very
felicitous. Robert Nadler likewise contributed some
bits of Hungarian landscape
rendered with his own indi-
Vidovszky, Bela Erdossy, and Sandor Papp were
all well represented.
One of the attractions of the exhibition was an
interesting piece of animal painting by Arthur Heyer,
who in his Surprise has shown both understand-
ing and imagination. The subject is the familiar
one of a cat about to spring upon a mouse, every
hair bristling with joy for the coming feast, and is
rendered with remarkable power; even the fear of
the poor little victim is perceptible. The treatment
of the light is well carried out, for the chief figures are
thereby thrown into relief, and the drawing shows
that the artist has been well schooled in this nowa-
days much neglected factor. I must also mention
some wharf scenes by Hugo Poll, which showed
that he is a good observer and understands his
subject.
There were but few portraits, and it suffices to
vidual charm.
Molnar Pentelei’s studies
of still-life present many ad-
mirable points. His treat-
ment of a number of glass
flasks was remarkable for its
simplicity and the ease with
which he has rendered the
transparency of the water;
while the Cup of Coffee, a
study in blue and gold,
showed a keen eye for de-
corative effect and a certain
artless elegance of arrange-
ment in the colour-scheme.
His best efforts were, how-
ever, shown in his treatment
of flowers, which are thought-
ful and sincere and exceed-
ingly happy in arrangement
and colouring. But whatever
his subject may be—he sent
also a painting of a male
torso—this artist’s methods
are always essentially charac-
teristic, while his colouristic
effects seen in his Interior
and other works here exhi-
bited are invariably interest-
