Studio- Talk
bourgs, the curious denizens of his beloved
and well-known Montmartre, appeal to
his brush just as they appeal to his pencil.
When the public has an opportunity of
seeing this collection everyone will have
fresh cause to do homage to an artist
of absolute sincerity—an artist of the
highest rank.
Henri Riviere is devoting his attention
to a new series of lithographs in colour,
dealing with the aspects of Paris as he
has already dealt so successfully with his
twelve Aspects de la Nature, published
by Eugene Verneau. Fresh from his
open-air work in Brittany, the admirable
artist may confidently be expected to
treat his picturesque city subjects in such
a way as to delight his numberless
admirers. For the present it is im-
possible that any of these plates, which
are being printed by M. Verneau, can be
published ; but in the meantime we now
reproduce two of Riviere's water-
colours, Le quai Saint Bernard, Paris,
and Bois a Landmelus. They form part
of a numerous series of delightful sketches
"vikille cour" by rene janssens from nature by this admirable artist, and
(See Brussels Studio-Talk) aru fu]1 of cnaracter and astonishing
atmospheric effects.
PARIS.—Steinlen is preparing an exhibition The " Societe Internationale de Peinture et de
of his works in oils. Hitherto his numerous Sculpture" held its 17th annual exhibition at
posters and drawings and plates have Georges Petit's gallery. So far as the actual mem-
prevented him
from devoting himself
thoroughly to what may be
called "serious painting,"
wherein, however, his bold
and honest vision is dis-
played in all its fulness.
His Blanchisseuses and his
Au cafe-concert, now repro-
duced, afford sufficient
proof of this. The artist's
technique as a painter is
strong and lively, and above
all thoroughly sincere. In
these canvases we may see
that he remains faithful to
his favourite subjects ; that
