out, whilst others will
gather about the body,
feel it to make sure that
life is really extinct, and
then draw it into a corner
and cover it over with hay
or straw. As long as the
dead monkey remains in
the enclosure the rest of
the animals are sad and
depressed; they cease
from their gambols and sit
together in silent groups.
As soon, however, as their
lost comrade is taken away
he is forgotten and the
merry life of play is re-
sumed.
As a result of this inti-
mate acquaintance with
the animals he has made
his special study, Herr
Simay has been able to
paint many most success-
ful scenes of monkey life,
in which he has displayed
an equal mastery over
composition, form and
colour. Of all stages in
the drama of monkey life
he has made sketches in
charcoal on a large scale.
Of some that have been
produced in a few minutes
we give a few examples
here that will serve to

Of late years Imre Simay has
taken what may be described as, to
some extent, a new departure, for
he has devoted himself to sculpture,
modelling his monkeys with great truth
to nature, but his plastic figures and
groups have the same qualities as his
pictures, which are impressionist in the
best sense of the term. V. H.
