"IN VENICE " BY H. W. FAULKNER
wind. Though the influence of Manet, of Ingres
and of Whistler are often perceptible in this artist,
as M. Bouyer has truly observed, we can say that,
here is a painter of the modern woman, of thepoup'ee
sublime (the sublime doll) as Goncourt has it.
The annual Exhibition of the Volney Club is an
affair of fashion rather than of art; among the
many contributions sent there are few, indeed very
few, which attract us by any vein of novelty. Of
the Academic painters, such as MM. Bonnat,
Bouguereau, Carolus-Duran and Lefebvre, I need
say nothing to the readers of The Studio. We
find a more recent effort of an interesting character
in M. Humbert's two portraits of ladies, in which
the colouring is delightful, with an obvious remi-
niscence of the English eighteenth-century school.
M. F. Lauth also sends a capital portrait, rather
severe in style, which I like better than some of
his former work; and M. Alexis Vollon has some
heads, vigorously and solidly handled. A few good
landscapes attract the eye: here is Mr. E. I.
Weeks, with reminiscences of India, M. F. Lamy,
with the streets of Bruges, M. Bompard, a luminous
picture of Venice, and M. E. Imbert, some pretty
views of the Seine at Vetheuil.
The Winter Exhibition of the American Art
Association is now open, and once more does credit
to the energy of this group of artists. There are
here some really admirable works to be mentioned.
Mr. Frieseke, who usually is too grey in his tone,
shows capital qualities as a colourist in a pic-
ture of a woman in a wrapper with the bosom
open. Mr. Otto R. Gaensslen, who studied at
Munich, sends a portrait of a man of stalwart type,
a very good beginning. The landscapes of the
country about Montigny by Mr. Gihon, Mr.
Ullmann's sea-pieces, Mr. Miller's forest scenes,
