gentleman’s study in dark polished birci-i and walnut, with black leather upholstery, designed
BY OSKAR KAUFMANN,
EXECUTED BY FRIEDMANN AND WEBER, HOHENZOLLERN KUNSTGEWERBEHAUS
(See also illustration on Preceding page)
Provengal painter Seyssaud, an artist of extreme in-
dividuality and originality, who has entirely self-
educated himself by a close study of nature. He
is another passionate lover of a locality, living
always as he does in a little village called Saint-
Chamas, between Marseilles and Avignon. Seyssaud
paints with much spirit this picturesque country,
dotted about with huge cypresses, and where the
delicate almond-trees in blossom stand out against
the blue ripples of the lake of Berre. H. F.
BERLIN.—Messrs Friedmann and Weber,
of the Hohenzollern Kunstgewerbehaus,
recently invited inspection of a suite
of newly completed interiors at their
establishment. In obedience to the principle of
eclecticism favoured by them, appreciation has
been equally shown for tradition and modernism.
Baroque, rococo, empire and Biedermeier are
represented in some choice rooms executed by
the architect Lessing and Mr. Weber, and artist-
craftsmen like the architect Oskar Kaufmann,
Ernst Friedmann, Karl Walser Troost, A. Schroder,
232
and Ilse Dernburg have worked for the honour
of present-day individualism. Good, even ex-
quisite taste is the general feature of these pro-
ductions, and this is combined with highest
solidity in a gentleman’s study designed by
Kaufmann. The successful artist has again given
full vent to his predilection for wainscot panelling
carried all round the walls with carved and inlaid
borders, and he has found a congenial collaborator
in the sculptor Feuerhahn. The terraced forma-
tion of the ceiling will not appear a desirable
feature to every one, but the pervading style of
classical seriousness, accentuated by black leather
upholstery, stained windows without curtains, and
purple door-hangings, will find general favour.
Great efforts to make an impressive autumn ex-
hibition were made by the Berliner Kiinstlerhaus,
all the artists who aim at capturing the spirit of
“ Great Berlin ” being invited. In spite of some
good examples of city portraiture the significance
of the subject was by no means exhausted. More
temperament, a higher power of grasping essentials,
