Studio- Talk
the two first named have worked in England, whilst
the latter is still established there.
Among the others, one may especially name Carl
Larsson, the well-known painter, and Flodman,
whose unusually promising career was cut short
when he was still young. Zorn and Larsson were
known as eminent aquarellists, when they suddenly
appeared as our greatest etchers. Zorn's manner is
especially original; his lines are broad and sure, as
if drawn with a piece of chalk, giving at the first
glance almost the appearance of carelessness, but
full of charm, life, and confidence. Zorn's etchings
are often printed on thick, yellowish paper, and
bring a very high price. Larsson, on the other
hand, is graceful in his art. An atmosphere of
esprit and good humour surrounds his irresistibly
fascinating creations, and his hand is light and
docile. An illustration is here given of Larsson's
first effort in chromo-lithography ; it appeared in
the publication of the Association for last year.
Only once before has the Association taken part
in an international exhibition. It was in the de-
cennial Exhibition at Vienna, 1895, " Gesellschaft
fur vervielfaltigende Kunst." The notice it attracted
on this occasion is best shown by the fact that
among the eight reproductions which found place
in its illustrated catalogue three were Swedish ; Zorn
received one of the three gold medals, the other
two being given to Max Klinger and August Lepere.
The Association received also the diploma of honour
of the Exhibition.
Readers of The Studio will doubtless be inter-
ested to know that foreigners may also be elected
as members. The cost for membership is 10 kronor
(about 12 shillings), and one then receives the yearly
publications.
For the coming summer, preparations are being
made in Stockholm for an Exhibition of Arts and
Industries, which will probably be the largest of its
kind which has taken place in the Scandinavian
countries, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Russia
will also officially take part in the department for
Industries. The three Scandinavian countries only
take part in the Art Exhibition, but a number of the
greatest living artists of other countries have been
personally invited to take part, and nearly all have
accepted the invitation.
The committee of the Exhibition has the good
fortune to count as President the youngest son of
