executed and with quite
a Parisian atmosphere
about them. The influence
of French impressionism
has left its mark on his
work. Franz Simon is
another promising artist of
whom we shall hear more
in the future. His Venetian
Shadows are full of feeling.
Jan Preissler has a strong
personality. Some said his
oil-painting Aus einem
Cycl-us was the best thing
in the exhibition; but, with-
out conceding so much as
that, it may be said without
fear of contradiction that
his draughtsmanship and
technique are first-rate.
There were some others
amongst the painters whose
names are not so familiar
and whom I can only men-
tion, such as Housa and
Kalvoda, landscapists, Spil-
lar and Poliak, excellent
portraitists, and Kupka, an
illustrator. All these men
contributed excellent work,
and I hope some day to
say more about them.

it has been a pleasure to observe the progress they
have both made from year to year. Slavicek is fond
of twilight ?notifs, and his work is always full of
expression. Usually it is a typical Bohemian land-
scape, such as that reproduced, in which he has
depicted the road leading into a humble little village
with a couple of lowly dwellings close by. Poverty
and need, both in nature and man, are stamped on
the scene.
Light effects, such as the play of bright sunshine
on the nude body, have occupied Hudecek in
many of his pieces, and are very successfully
rendered in his Summer Time, where he depicts a
boy sitting on the bank of a stream after bathing.
R. Bern showed two French scenes, both well
In the sculpture section,
by b. krafka Hans Bilek w^ s represented
by work characteristic of
him. His admirers are enthusiastic about his
work and rank him among the leading sculptors
of the day. There can be no question that
his work is of a high order, full of youthful
vigour and fire, and the product of a true feel-
ing for art. His figures of two blind people, here
reproduced, are evidence of this. Sucharda’s
plaquettes are a joy to those who know them, for
he is a true artist. His pair of busts representing
a brother and sister are admirable examples of his
work. Krafka, too, contributed a noteworthy bust.
Taking the exhibition as a whole, one may say
that the impression it left was a pleasant one. The
average quality of the work was decidedly good,
and the holding of this exhibition ought to have a
stimulating effect on Bohemian art. M. G.
