Studio- Talk
with the shapes employed, now by their absolute
harmony, now by their effective contrast. These
are M. de Feure's first experiments in this direction,
yet they come very near to perfection. Who can
doubt that at his next attempt he will achieve even
greater results?
There are but few French artists devoting them-
selves to decorative art who, to my mind, are more
gifted than M. Georges Auriol in all that concerns
book ornamentation in all its branches. He is
responsible for several charming book covers,
programmes, music covers, and head and tail
pieces, all revealing a keen sense of the logical,
and at the same time of the fanciful.
For his intimate friends in art and letters, and
for the publishers he has designed numerous
monograms in the Japanese style—all remarkable
for their rare sense of nature and their perfect
balance. The two illustrations now reproduced
give a good idea of his gifts in this direction.

There is novelty in his work, without doubt; but
that is all. He must be content to wait a few
years for his laurels; meanwhile—he is only
twenty—his great abilities deserve encouragement.

great masses of colour usually seen
in pieces baked au grand feu, M.
de Feure and his collaborators
have succeeded in producing
much more delicate effects, the
subtle tones obtained being quite
uncommon, at least in Europe,
in fired porcelain. The colours
range from blue to yellow, in-
cluding a grey green, a reseda
green, a grey, a brown of extra-
ordinary delicacy, and lastly a
greyish pink, exquisitely charm-
ing in its freshness. Thanks to
M. de Feure's subtle methods,
these colours are wonderfully well
adapted to porcelain decoration.
