Studio: international art (41.1907)

Studio- Talk

Some interesting single
exhibits point to marked
talent in various fields.
Fritz Burger, the portrait-
painter, convinces us of
his gift for seeing the
inward characteristics of
his sitters. Professor
Arthur Kampf, the newly-
elected President of the
Academy of Arts, whose
appointment meets with
unanimous approval,
proves his realistic power,
his taste and reliable
draughtsmanship in histo-
rical subjects and portrai-
ture. Carl Langhammer,
the landscape - painter,
develops more and more
his art of rendering wide

stretches of country, cloud- "sunday rest" by hans looschen

effects, and the phenomena

of light and air. The sculptor Schauss, with his tendency to gracefulness, and the sculptor Bossard,

the thinker, with his straight, unpliant
lines, represent two extremes of artistic
bent. Munich is as well represented
by the Luitpold Group and the Kiinstler-
Genossenschaft as are Diisseldorf,
Hamburg and Dresden. The Swedish
and Danish sections are particularly
interesting.

In the section of applied art, the
rooms of Professor Bruno Paul, some
of which were shown last year in
Dresden, are helping a wisely-balanced
modernism to victory; and the show
of the Berliner Konigliche Porzellan
Manufactur is most interesting as well
in its conservative part as in the modern
works of Professor Schmuz-Baudiss.
