Studio- Talk
M. V. Rousseau we all know as a sculptor of
[Hire and delicate style ; his recent works on a
Luge scale testified to his thorough mastery of
his art, but never yet had he " let himself go " so
completely as in the little bronze figures which
he now offers for our admiration. They are really
delightful in their grace, exquisite in form and
perfect in point of workmanship.
M. O. Coppens in his Noctnr?ies very skilfully
suggests the hardness produced by certain moon-
light effects, which he has been studying for some
time past. M. R. Janssens (who, by the way, is
exhibiting at the Cercle Artistique some score or
so of pictures and studies all marked by honesty
and simplicity of treatment) displays an excellent
portrait of an old lady. M. Hannotiau sends
some " bits" of various old-fashioned towns,
treated in rich warm tones. M. Ottevaere shows
his twilight woodland scenes ; MM. Ciamberlani
and Fabry contribute nude studies of the best
sort; M. O. Dierickx has on view a scholarly but
somewhat cold composition entitled Lage (Tor;
and lastly, M. Braecke, the sculptor, exhibits a
Christ of curious appearance, and very interesting
in execution.
After having hitherto shown a preference for the
display of English and French applied art, the
Libre Esthe'tique Society is now going to exhibit
a selection of German work of this kind. The
list of contributors is far from being complete;
one misses the names of several very prominent
artists of great influence, whose work has often
been reproduced and described in The Studio.
However the productions of the Danish ceramic
school, the Tiffany glass work, and that of M.
Evaldre, a Brussels artist, together with the paint-
ings of MM. Van Rysselberghe, Verhaeren,
Frederic Claus, Heymans, L. Simon and others,
will certainly draw a large number of visitors to
this most varied and interesting exhibition.

BERLIN.—The Arts and Crafts Exhibi-
tion at Hirschwald's proved a com-
plete success, both as regards the
patronage of the public and the ex-
cellence of the exhibits many of which
came from England, France and Belgium, as well as
from various parts of Germany. The illustration
on page 118 shows a corner of one of the galleries,
in which are displayed a walnut bookcase by
Charles Plumet, some pieces of furniture by Tony
Selmersheim, a stoneware chimney-piece by Muller,
a carpet by C. F. A. Voysey, an electric lamp by
