Studio- Talk
from a painting by walter leistikow
Following its general rule, the Society of Fine
Arts made a point of decorating the Exhibition in
the most harmonious fashion possible. The beau-
tiful tapestries came from the well-known collection
of M. Leon Somzee, who was kind enough to allow
the committee to make use of such as they re-
quired.
Some of the pictures from M. Somzee's collection
held an honourable place in the Venetian Exhibi-
tion held some time ago at the New Gallery ; and
his exhibits would certainly figure prominently in
any collection of tapestries that might be brought
together.
Lieutenant Masui may be unreservedly congra-
tulated on the entire success of his section at the
Brussels-Tervueren Exhibition. He was entrusted
with the organisation of the Colonial Department,
and the results give equal evidence of initiative and
good taste. The series of photographs which is to
appear in The Studio shortly will show, better
than any description could do, the remarkable
results he has obtained in the way of artistic decora-
tion, and that with the simplest of means.
An international exhibition of posters, including
126
works from the best masters of the art, was lately
held at Tournai. The Tournai " Cercle Artistique,"
which organised the display, was able to show some
350 specimens. Several of them are of extreme
rarity, on account of their age, notably some illus-
trated examples, printed like wall-papers, and dating
from Louis Philippe's time.
The English school was well represented, Dudley
Hardy and Maurice Greiffenhagen being prominent
exhibitors. The big poster, Pall Mall, by the latter,
will always be considered a masterpiece of its kind.
The " Cercle Artistique et Litteraire " of Brussels
has just celebrated its fiftieth year of existence by a
most successful fete. The galleries were orna-
mented with draperies and flowers, which, with the
pictures and tapestries and other works of art,
formed a most effective e?isemble. The tapestries,
very fine specimens, were lent by M. Somzee, while
the pictures were the work of old members of the
club—Navez, Gallait, Leys, De Groux, de Braeke-
leer, Verwee, Boulenger, and others. A special
word is due to the decoration of the gardens by
M. V. Keuler, the painter, who was warmly con-
gratulated on his work.
