HODLER ROOM NINETEENTH SECESSION EXHIBITION, VIENNA

works exhibited by Hodler—such as Abendruhe sort. The picture, In Hospital, represents women
(Evening Rest) and Waldlied (Song of the Wood) waiting to be called in to the consulting room; they
—are exceedingly beautiful; the soft tones of the have removed part of their clothing, and stand

impressing us with its ten-
der greens in the stones of
the tiny waterfall and the
grass, interweaving and un-
twining themselves only to
repeat their interweavings,
just as if the colours were
playing the part of the warp
and weft. Whichever way
one turns there is some-
thing to fascinate the on-
looker in Hodler's works.
One becomes accustomed
to the unusualness of his
methods, and each time
one brings from him some-
thing new to treasure up,
for his work is not easily
forgotten.

The same may we say
of Edward Munch (Berlin),
who, too, is realistic, though nmu »
