We have received the following communication
from our Antwerp correspondent. " The Triennial

Exhibition of 1904 was a very successful one. \\S^" * * ^

Although it contained, like all its predecessors, ^yx^
two or even three hundred exhibits which were
works of art in name only, about half the rooms
were occupied by a series of paintings and
sculptures of striking individuality and of original
composition. It is important to note that, for
the first time for many years, this exhibition

hampered by old-fashioned rules and conventions.

due to a return to sincerity, not to the following

merely temporary movement. It is represented by ^ " ^ K^lSA f t /

a large group of artists, the eldest of whom has
not yet reached his 40th year, whilst the majority
are but now making their first appearance. In a
word, they adopt no special style and form neither

a club nor a school, for each paints in his own way stencil design by koloman moser
