and the city authorities,
who, in addition, under-
took the laying out of the
gardens.

In so far as decorative
art is concerned, we can
trace here the benefits of
such an education in art
as the Kunstgewerbeschule
in Vienna gives its
students. Professors
Otto Wagner, Hoffmann,
Moser, Czeschka, Metzner,
von Larisch, Cizek, have
already left an indelible
mark on the history of
Austrian art, and the
action of the Ministry in
appointing students from
their classes to be pro-

at Diisseldorf last month,
at the early age of 40.
This is a heavy loss for
modern German art.

VIENNA.—The
“ Kunstschau ”
Exhibition marks
a new era in
Austrian art, and is signifi-
cant as showing how
much the teachings of
Morris and Ruskin have
taken hold of the artists
of Austria. No exhibition
in Vienna of late years
has aroused so much
curiosity both on the part
of the art - loving public
and artists themselves as
has this one. People have
come from all parts to
see and enjoy it. The
Government and munici-
pality have also taken an
active interest in it. The
Home Office lent the
ground and the Finance
Ministry granted a sub-
vention of 30,000 crowns,
grants being also made by
the Diet of Lower Austria
