remains in the front rank. Among the best things
sent to the show we must mention the landscapes,
so freely painted, by M. Felix Borchardt, a true
pleinairist; then the Dutch scenes by M. M. Bom-
pard, the figure subjects by M. Bunny, which
have somewhat of the modest charm of Rossetti’s
heroines. The sunlit pictures of M. Frieseke bore
witness to an artist who seeks and strives always
with success. The head study of M. Fallieres, by
M. Calbet, was a very poor sketch and may be
disregarded. On the other hand, what grace and
elegance did we not find in the works of Gardier! A
new-comer, M. Hubbel, deserves also to be singled
out for his excellent qualities as a colourist, and
likewise M. Richard Miller, M. Walden, M. Ollson,
M. MacCameron, M. Woog and M. Zo, a faithful
observer of Spanish life.
The Seventh Exhibition of the Painter-Litho-
graphers has been held this year chez M. Dewam-
bez, whose excellently ar-
ranged galleries enjoy more
and more success every
day. We believe we are
right in stating that the
members have made a
special effort, and certainly
the whole appearance of
the exhibition bore out
this supposition. M. Belle-
roche, whose lithographs
in his own personal style
become better and better,
paid a visit to England for
the especial purpose of
recruiting a new contin-
gent of exhibitors, and
returned wfith some excel-
lent prints by Jackson, J.
Pennell and Charles Shan-
non, which were very
worthy of note. Among
the Frenchmen I noticed
M. Neumont, a true dis-
ciple of Gavarni ; that
blunt realist, M. Maxime
Dethomas; M. Maurice
Eliot, whose work is full of
elegance; M. Leandre, of
whose art further praise is
superfluous; and M. Lucien
Monod, whose three colour
lithographs, taken from a
small number of examples,
were a veritable feast for the eyes.
L’Eclectique, a new society presided over by
the illustrious author Anatole France, has had a
most successful first exhibition. The prevailing
character of this association is that it contains
more decorative artists than is the case with other
societies, and the general aspect of the exhibition
thus gained infinitely in variety. From this point
of view I took pleasure in seeing the lovely vase
by M. Delaherche, the jewelled glass by M. Rivaud,
the sculptures in wood by Raymond Bigot, of
which a dead raven and the head of a turkey were
works of premier importance, the stoneware and
the porcelain by M. Dammouse, the enamels of
M. Eugene Feuillatre, and the ironwork by M.
Robert. Among the pictures there were some
charming interiors by M. Pierre Calmettes, to
whose work an article was devoted in The Studio
for December, 1907 ; the paintings and the pastels
