The Venice Exhibition
TUSCAN ROOM, VENICE EXHIBITION
have committed themselves; and whether the result
be in accordance with other national tastes or not,
all must agree that they have spoken in tones quite
as distinct as any of the other nations represented.
The number of pictures shown is in fine propor-
tion to the space allotted to them. Franz Stuck
shows one of his very characteristic pieces, Saharet,
an Egyptian dancer. The Source, by Carl Marr, is
a splendid example of the work of this able painter.
Painted in his direct, forceful style, and filling the
space in a well-thought-out manner, one feels in
this as in all his work, that from the beginning to
the finish it is in no way a matter of experiment,
and the result is invariably most pleasing.
Professor Heinrich Ziigel shows a number of his
strong animal paintings. PI is Before the Stall is
perhaps the finest of them, but all of them exhibit
his masterful drawing of animals, as well as his
dexterity with the brush. Suffice it to say that
the work he has sent raises the standard not only
of the German section, but of the whole exhibition
as well.
Winter on the Amper, by Hans van Hayek, is an
admirable example of the work of this clever land-
scape and animal painter. It shows a familiarity
with his subject and the means employed which is
at once convincing.
Ludwig Dill has sent a highly decorative bit of
landscape in tempera.
The Carpenters and Study of Children, by Ludwig
Heterich, show clearly those qualities which place
him among the first artists of Germany. Possessing
his fine balance of colour as well as his dexterous
treatment, they are in a class all by themselves.
To be sure, they are not the most important of his
works, but to the visitor at this exhibition these
examples will show wherein Heterich is an artist of
the first rank.
The Communicant, by Christian Landenberger,
is a pleasing rendering of a young girl seated before
a window. It is painted in a charming scheme of
blue and grey. Among the Breakers, by Gustav
Shonleber, is a most interesting marine study in a
telling decorative treatment. The Portrait of the
Artist Klein by Robert Breyer is painted in a
spontaneous manner. In the Street, by Adalbert
Niemeyer, shows a woman and child before some
old houses, rendered in low tones. Angelo Jank
is represented by a vigorous piece of painting, Fox
Hunting, in which his power of drawing is well shown.
