when he decorated a room
in the International Exhi-
bition with panels let in
the wall, that showed a
very pleasing combination
of embroidery and paint-
ing upon silk. His "Skirt
Dancer," mentioned last
year in the Studio, was
also executed in this man-
ner. This combination
technique is applicable,
of course, only to purely
decorative work that is
treated like a painting on
the wall, and that is not,
on account of being used
for practical purposes,
subject to cleaning. In
designs for embroidery

etc.) Rentsch vies happily
with Obrist, and is alto-

him. Before leaving, he
arranged an exhibition of

his recent work, including
some landscapes in oil, at
Wolfram's Galleries, and
we are pleased to be able
to reproduce some of the
best specimens of his em-
broidery.
EMBROIDERED SCREEN BY FRITZ RENTSCH
This exhibition was
followed by one showing
us Curt Stceving's work.
He lives at present in
Berlin, and is certainly
very versatile. Stceving
teaches at the Polytech-
nical Institute in Char-
lottenburg, draws upon
stone, illustrates books,
paints, and latterly has
taken to sculpture. His
paintings appear to be
influenced somewhat too
much by Klinger. His
bronzes, however, are full
of promise.
