Studio-Talk
for theatre decorations to suit an Ibsen drama
prove him to be possessed of the decorative sense
and skill in high degree, while his portrait of the
painter Roehrich and a striking study of a Spanish
woman show him to be a capital draughtsman.
A very promising appearance at this exhibition
was made by a young sculptor named Stelletzki,
represented by some realistic statuettes sparkling
with life, and by a surtout de table and a large
chimney-piece, for the decoration of which primitive
Slavonic motives have been employed. Mention
should also be made here of a gifted novice,
Brodsky, who sent a Northern landscape, and of
the contributions of Anisfeld.
Of the older generation of Muscovite artists, the
landscapists, as already mentioned, did not make a
very happy show this year. But outside their ranks,
work of interest was seen in a village subject by
Maliutin, rather too much of a monochrome, but
very characteristic in composition. A costume
study in colours by this artist made one regret that
he is now devoting himself more to applied art
than to painting. L. Pasternak, whose homely
draughtsmanship always suffers from the proximity
of large pictures, exhibited a iarge number of
drawings and sketches, among which were some
delightful examples. Vroubel, whose condition, I
regret to say, gives no promise of improvement,
was represented by some capital little things of an
earlier date.
Of the younger men I should like to name a
very beautiful decorative panel by Bogayevski, who
seems to have entirely freed himself from his earlier
and rather disquieting manner; a pleasing canvas
by Krymoff, who pursues a kindred path in respect
of style; and the pictures, rich in colour, of Tarkhoff,
who now works permanently in Paris. Petrovit-
cheff and Tourzanski are the devotees of the
paysage intime, in which the former especially
achieves some very fine and quite individual effects.
Well deserved too was the success which fell to the
picturesque interiors of Sre'dine, who has made
marked progress in technique without losing any
of his poetic charm.
The artistic output of the modernistic group
known as the “ Blue Rose,” from the exhibition
held last year under this pretentious title, was
unimportant. With the exquisite colour harmonies
