FRANKFORT-ON MAIN — We have
. already in a previous issue drawn the
attention of our readers to the work of
Herr Joseph Kowarzyk, and we now
have the pleasure of giving a reproduction of a
half-length Sphinx which belongs to his quite
recent achievements (see opposite).
V
rIENNA.—Hans Ofner is a young architect
who has already gained some fame,
various examples of his decorative work
having already been reproduced in " The
Art Revival in Austria." Though his interiors show
the unmistakable influence of h;s master, Professor
Joseph Hoffmann, under whom he studied at the k
Kunstgewerbeschule, still he has characteristics
which are quite his own. Of late he has been
devoting much thought to the problem of designing
modern jewellery, and has been very successful in
this branch of his art. There is everywhere a right
feeling for proportion, and nowhere does Herr
Ofner strive for mere effect; his artistic judgment
is rightly balanced, and his designs show how care-
fully he has performed his task. In common
jewellery designed by hans ofner with most students of the modern school, he has
