pictures of cats and cows, showing a fine under-
standing for animal life, and Istvan Zador some
broadly depicted landscapes, but more interesting
were his interior pictures of the Hunting-Box at
Gbddllb belonging to the Emperor-King Francis
Joseph, which revealed Zador as an accomplished,
serious, and virile artist. An interior portrait of a
lady pianist by the same artist possessed fine
qualities. Cezar Herrer’s work bore the signs of his
Spanish origin, it showed decided talent and power
of expression, particularly in his depictions of
Spanish types. Other works of interest were shown
by Geza Vastagh, a painter of wild animals with a
setting of forest scenery, Bela Erdossy, Gyorgy
Vastag, Ferenc Olgyay, Hugo Poll, and Oszkar
Mendlik.
In the section of graphic art, special attention
should be given to Mariska Agoston, a young girl
who has executed some remarkable etchings of
animals, which show earnest study, high ideals and
a right understanding of her technique. Among the
works of sculpture on view, the study of a woman’s
head, by Elemer von Fiilop
Felsoedri, here reproduced,
claims attention as a life¬
like rendering free from
superfluous detail, and
James Pasztor’s nude
figure, The Banished Girl',
is an excellent example of
modelling, showing a fine
feeling for lines of beauty
in the human form. This
sculptor though still very
young, has twice been
awarded the prize in the
competition for the
Munkacsy monument.
Other interesting works of
plastic art were sent by
Miklos Ligeti, Nandor
Gaal, Elek Lux, Lajos Pick,
who studied in Brussels
and who shows real cul¬
ture in his work, Odon
Szamovolszky, whose wood
sculpture is remarkable
for its vigour, and Imre
Csikasz a young sculptor
of much distinction whose
life was cut short a month
or two ago at the age of
twenty-six, and whose
242
achievements during his all too brief career show
him to have been a sculptor of far more than
ordinary talent, and one of whom great things
could be confidently expected. A. S. L.
COLOGNE.—By the inauguration of the
Museum fur Ostasiatische Kunst in
this city at the end of last October,
Cologne can boast of possessing the
only museum in Europe that is entirely devoted to
the art of the Far East, and in view of the ever-
increasing interest that is being taken by European
students and connoisseurs in the artistic produc-
tions of China, Japan, and Korea, the event is one
of great significance. The museum has been
established primarily for the purpo.se-of housing
and maintaining the important and comprehensive
collection formed in the course of many years by
Prof. Adolf Fischer as the result of independent
travels and expeditions in the Far East, and also
during the period of his appointment as Scientific
Attache to the German Embassy in Pekin. To
this collection have been added the fruits of two
