butes sculpture, M. Friant some pictures, and
M. Fridrich—one of the most versatile of this
talented group—exhibits stuffs, velvets, and wall-
papers of interesting design and admirable work-
manship. The whole impression of this exhibition
is that no town in France could send to the front
so powerful a company of artists and craftsmen.
The Exhibition of the " Orientalists," though
badly favoured by the gloomy galleries of the
Grand Palais, has brought to light some quite new
talent. We noted more particularly the paintings
of an English artist in Egypt, Mr. Fitzgerald. He
has very faithfully reproduced the scorching noon-
tide of the Desert and the purple evening light of
the Nile valley. Another newcomer, M. Dagnac-
Riviere, whose rough singularity does not displease
us, deserves special mention. Each of the painters
here seen has his own favourite district. M. Dinet
loves Tunisia ; M. Levy-Dhurmer takes Southern
Spain and the Barbary Coast; M. Buffet affects
Abyssinia. M. Fraipont and M. de la Neziere have
wandered in Siam and China, and the latter has
brought from the furthest East a quantity of very
characteristic and most interesting studies, which
M. Benedite has thought worthy of acceptance by
the Luxembourg Museum.
In Silberberg's Gallery a set of very clever artists
afford us a really high-class exhibition. Mdlle
Clementine Dufau is one of the most marked
personalities of modern French art. Alternately
influenced by Besnard and Raffaelli, she has never-
theless certain qualities all her own. Her Portrait,
her views of Saint Cloud, her Flowers, are full of
atmosphere. She plays with light most skilfully,
and her Types from Granada are firmly and
correctly drawn A perfect gem of colour is her
