Studio-Talk

Miss L. Muntz had six
pieces—three oils and two
water-colours. All these
were Dutch figure subjects,
and were characterised by
a confidence and freedom
in handling not usually met
with in feminine work.
Miss Muntz is also a silver
medallist of the Academie
Colarossi, and in 1894 ob-
tained Honourable Mention
for portraiture at a Paris
Salon.

Government; but he never exhibits now, lives a
tranquil life in his studio, and paints leisurely for
his own satisfaction. At the same time he keeps
up a lively interest in the work of the younger
men, and is always ready with words of approba-
tion to encourage a youthful artist of promise.

CANADA.—The leading art institu-
tion of Canada, the Royal Canadian
Academy, organised under the
patronage of Her Royal Highness
Princess Louise, opened its twentieth
annual exhibition in the Gallery of the Art Asso-
ciation of Montreal on April 7. The exhibition
is held at Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto, alter-
nately. _

BY MISS L. MUNTZ

Rachel's Tomb and a
Minaret at Jaffa are the
result of F. S. Challener’s
recent prolonged visit to
Palestine. Several other
subjects by the same

held its twenty-seventh annual exhibition in March
at Toronto. Fifty-three artists were represented,
the accepted paintings numbering one hundred
and forty. A greater number of paintings were
rejected this year than on any previous occasion,
owing to the determined effort on the part of the
Society to raise the standard of merit. Two
important decorative pieces, lunettes intended for
private houses, were shown by the President,
G. A. Reid, R.C.A. The one, Repose, repre-
sented a wearied girl, a haymaker, reclining in
a field of newly-mown hay; the other, Summer
(reproduced page 61), showed two female figures
resting in the shade of trees. The tones of both
are subdued, the treatment simple, and the effect
essentially decorative.

Miss W. D. Hawley had two clever Dutch
figure subjects, one especially excellent entitled
Scouring. The drawing in
both is virile, the colour
brilliant and in large free
masses, and transparent in
quality. Miss Hawley was
the first vice-president of
the New York Students’
League, and until this year
filled the post of teacher of
water-colours in the Aca-
difmie Colarossi,from which
school, in 1894, she re-
ceived a silver medal.
