Studio: international art (38.1906)

Studio-Talk

being, their future develop-
ment will decide what is
genuine, and that will
remain.

Comparatively speak-
ing, the leaders, the men
of note and name, seem
partly to have held aloof
on this occasion, making
room for the rising genera-
tion, if this term may be
applied to the neophytes
in a generally forward
movement. Fritz von
Uhde is represented by a
girl feeding a dog (Hunde-
fattening) and Graf Kalck-

reviews, comprising as it does
specimens of almost every kind
of paintings in oil and water-
colour, graphic art and sculpture.
There is no marked preference
for any pronounced “Richtung,”
no tendency to enforce a doc-
trine, or to urge and argue into
narrower channels what in a
widespread movement, tending
generally towards individual ex-
pression, involves a divergency
of material and manner, as well
as ample scope in the choice of
theme or motif. The hanging
and grouping of the exhibits has
been guided by discretion, with-
out over crowding. There are
some weak points, but on the
whole the display in the old
museum rooms has the advan-
tage of not being too big, though
quite large enough as it is.

Here the chances for the
younger men are good; they are
not grudged the opportunity of
showing what they want to give,
or hope some day to attain; we
are invited to examine and judge
for ourselves what they can do,
provided their intentions be pure
and earnest; should their aims
be misdirected or their execu-
tion lack perfection for the time
