ARIS.—The sixteenth ex-
hibition by the Societe
Internationale de Pein-
ture et de Sculpture at
Georges Petit's seemed to
me to be superior to its predecessors.
Despite the presence of certain works
quite unworthy of exhibition, and
although there is no sort of unity of
purpose among the members, the
display altogether constitutes a most
medal (See Brussels Studio- Talk) by g. devreese interesting manifestation of art. Nor

is there anything surprising in that,
when one finds in the catalogue
lent results have been achieved, the most prominent such names as Rodin (who was invited to exhibit
photographers being Herren Henneberg, Kiihn, this year by the society), John Alexander, Brang-
and Watzek. Here in Munich, however, there is wyn, Lucien Simon, Albert Baertsoen, Charles
one young painter, Fritz Matthies-Masuren, who
has been applying himself assiduously to the art.
