The landscapes at

Grom-Rottmayer’s Lady in
Green is broadly treated,
and has a certain grace
and charm. Ludwig
Wieden’s portraits are
always interesting; his
studies of Moravian peasant
girls are well drawn and
harmonious in coloration.
Spiro’s portrait of the actor
Louis Treumann bears
traces of hurriedness in exe-
cution, though the hands
are well painted. Heinrich
Gollob’s portrait of an
Irishman, Mr. Gordon
Mallet McCouch, is well
studied and shows promise.
Erwin Lang’s decorative
panel portrait of his wife,
the well-known dancer
Grete Wiesenthal, is a fine
rendering in greys.
the Secession show that the

are to him things sacred. A portrait of a lady by
the same artist has also fine qualities. Hermann

artists are great seekers after nature ; their work is al-
ways virile and spontaneous. The Road at Diirnbach
