Studio: international art (34.1905)

Studio- Talk

M. Richard Miller makes
his first appearance here
with several solidly-painted
morceanx, which happily
break the monotony of
many of the exhibits ;
and one gladly renews
acquaintance with M.
Frieseke, the confident
and infinitely fascinating
feministe.

As for the sculpture, the
ivories of M. Theodore
Riviere, as always, deserve
to be remembered on ac-

International Exhibition anything

looked upon as one of
the first sculptors in Berlin, and the

a watchmaker, did he discover,

of Arts, but the ambitious youth
was doomed to disappointment, and
so it came that he worked for a time
for various architects and sculptors,
thus gaining much practical know-
nietsche by max klein ledge of technique. After a visit
