“evening on lake rarer”
(Secession, Vienna)
BY ALFRED POLL
There are but few portraits in the Secession
exhibition. Victor Hammer, whose work elicited
much favourable criticism last Spring, has ad-
vanced in his art, and his portraits here exhi-
bited show earnestness and sincerity of purpose
and vigorousness of execution. J. V. Kramer’s
delicate studies of children are praiseworthy;
Adolf Levier’s portrait of Dr. D. shows that the
artist keeps to sound principles and traditions in
his art; and Christian L. Martin’s AlteFrau is good,
especially in the drawing of the hands.
Interior paintings have always been a speciality
with members of the Vienna Secession, and
they have again kept to their tradition. Those
by Stoitzner have a rare charm ; he has succeeded
in giving us the sentiment, the colouring, the
very patina of the old homes in Salzburg depicted
by him. Wilhelm Legler’s interiors have a fine
atmosphere and perfume overhanging them, and
Karl Schmoll von Eisenwerth and F. Hohenberger
are other painters of this genre who should here
72
be mentioned. Among the landscapists who have
contributed to make this exhibition most interesting
are Zerlacher, Anton Novak, Karl Muller, Gerlach,
Ludwig Ehrenhaft, Kruis, Zdrazila, Lene Kainer,
Maxmilian Lenz, Max Liebenwein, Stanislaus
Kamocki, Wladyslaw Jarocki, Ernst Eck, Alfons
Karpinski, and Alfred Poll. There is little sculp-
ture, but that little is very good. Anton Hanak has
grown larger, more monumental, in his conceptions
and in his manner of expressing them. His Giant
is astonishing in the majesty of the lines, the
greatness of thought underlying it. Other works
of interest are The. Girl in the Sun, by F. Opitz,
and H. Schwindshackl’s Blind Man, executed in
Bardiglio marble._
Graphic art, always strong at the Secession, is
of the usual high quality. Alois Kolb is coming
rapidly forward into the front rank, and so is
Walter Klemm. Work of note is also contributed
by Archibald Miller, a young Scottish artist; Karl
Thiemann, Hans Frank, Anton Kerschbaum, Max
