The Paris Salons
the gres cerames of Moreau-Nelaton, the lighting
apparatus of Alexandre Charpentier and Henri
Sauvage, who also exhibits photographs and plans
of the villa he has just built at Nancy for M. Louis
Majorelle; the two bedsteads in copper, orna-
mented by shells, by Th. Lambert; the show-cases
of de Feure, containing exquisite bits of porcelain,
and double candelabra in silvered bronze, delight-
ful both in form and in detail; the glass-work—
fine glass and glass for everyday use—by Emile
Galle, delicate and subtle as ever; not forgetting
the piano by G. Serrurier, the bedroom in rose-
wood by Charles Plumet, the decoration of the
little salon by Tony Selmersheim, the crystallised
porcelain by Delaherche, the logical and ingenious
furniture by Eugene Gaillard, the cups in trans-
lucid p&te de verre of novel colourations by
Georges Despret, or the really charming domestic
copper-work by Brindeau de Jarny.
At the Salon des Artistes Francais there is less
to see and to remember. With the exception—
among the " consecrated " artists—of Henner with
his fine Portrait de Mme. S. H., of Jean Paul
Laurens with his strikingly real Proclamation de la
Republique en 184.8, which has been purchased by
the City of Paris, there is nothing to satisfy one,
save in the work of the young men, the new-comers,
nothing the like of which has not been seen for
years past in the Salons.
M. T. Robert-Fleury is, perhaps, the only
painter of his generation who interests himself in
the modem movement, and one must applaud his
sincere and honest effort to rid himself of the
academic manner in which his chief successes
were gained. L'Jitude and Brodeuse are fresh and
charming canvases, showing direct observation.
The work of M. Ernest Laurent—subdued and
deep, delicate and supple—appeals to me irresistibly.
His Relevailles is an exquisitely tender poem of
humanity.
Emile Wery has endeavoured to convey, in the
form of a triptych, the sad yet always living
spirit of Venice; Jules Adler, for his part, remains
faithful to his studies of popular life. His Au
pays de la Mine and Paris I'Jzte show him to be
making real progress, and more and more master
of his art. La Recreation des enfants a V'ecole
maternelle, by Mile. Marie Perrier, also deals with
"CHALAN'DS SOUS LA NEIGE"
