“THE OUTGOING TRAIN”

BY HERMANN PLEUER

Berlin. — The

Universal Ex-
hibition of
Photography,
which is being held here,
is one of the most cosmo-
politan and complete that
could have been organised.
The House of Deputies
has been very kindly lent
for the occasion, and its
numerous halls, galleries,
and corridors are filled
with exhibits. The Union
of Berlin Sculptors has
aided the committee with
advice as to the artistic
arrangement of the ex-

specimens of character.
Georg Sauter’s double por-
trait, Experience and Ex-
pectation, is very subtle in
its bouquet of half-tones
and very delicate in senti-
ment. Among the sculp-
tors may be named August
Gaul, who is not so well
represented as on former
occasions ; Moritz Otto
Muller with an Angora cat
at bay, finely carved in grey
granite; Richard Lusch
with a ceramic figure for a
garden decoration; Hugo
Kaufmann with a fine St.
George bust in polychrome
marble ; while omitting
well-famed contributors like
Tuaillon, Stuck, Klinger
or Kruse, I may point out
artists such as Felix Pfeifer
(Leipzig), Hermann Hahn,
Peter Poppelmann, Ludvig
Habig (Darmstadt), Igna-
tius Taschner. The
Graphic Arts are repre-
sented by some spirited
etchings and lithographs,
to which we will refer on a
future occasion. W. S.
