THE STREAM” BY PROF. LUDWIG DILL

(By permission 0/ Herr Schuster, Berlin)

of producing a portrait which fascinates one as a
piece of brush work and at the same time satisfies
one as a close likeness. The three-quarter length

of Mrs. E. B-, here exhibited, is one of the

best things he has ever
done. Prof. Zwintscher
and Prof. R. Muller, each
in their way, are remi-
niscent of old styles.

Without in any way copy-
ing old masters, the
former treats still-life with
a degree of love and self-
sacrifice that recalls to
mind the famous Dutch
painters of the seventeenth
century; the latter’s
drawing, unrelentingly
conscientious as it is,
reminds one occasionally
of some of Diirer’s later
work. There are, further,
one-man shows of the
animal painter, E. Hegen-
barth and the genre painter
W. Claudius. Beyond
these, the Dresden groups
of artists cut a very
good figure by the side of
their confreres from other
towns.

The black-and-white
department, though small,
is full of excellent work,
and an interesting attempt
has been made to present
it in an entirely new and
effective way to the public.
I would particularly men-
tion the fine colour wood-
cuts by Miss G. von
Becker; the magnificent
colour - etchings by Olaf
Lange, which entirely
distance the insipid,
vapid work which Paris
turns out in such quan-
tities ; excellent, dainty
dry-point work by F. Gold
of Vienna ; very beautiful,
exquisitely-toned drawings
of flowers by Miiller-Wol-
kenstein ; and bold water-
colours—flower-pieces and
marines — by F. Hein; a fine series of very
powerful charcoal portraits by Samberger; won-
derful drawings by Gustav Klimt of Vienna and
Klinger of Leipsic; and charming, soft lithographs
