by M. Adler; an excellent picture, Les Luttes,
by M. Lucien Simon, the landscapes by Dauchez,
Brittany scenes by M. Desire-Lucas, warm colour
notes by Mile. A. Delasalle. All this formed a
concentration of solid talent worthy of a more
detailed study than we can give it. H. F.
VIENNA.—The arrangement of the Hagen-
bund winter exhibition was entrusted to
a young architect, Oskar Laske, who has
done some very good work both in
Vienna and the surrounding country. Here he
again proved himself highly capable, for there was
something at once distinguished and elegant in his
decorative treatment of the rooms. He is also a
graphic artist of some power, as shown by some
etchings in colour and black and white exhibited
on this occasion. Franz Simon also contributed
some etchings in colour, which, though French
in subject, showed that the artist’s long stay in
Paris has in no way affected his national feeling.
Prof, von Zugel’s charcoal drawings of animals
were very welcome, and demonstrated his signal
powers as a draughtsman. A whole room was
devoted to the works of Prof. Karl Haider, another
Munich guest who has many admirers in Vienna,
and one of whose works has been acquired for the
Modern Gallery. Nature in
her solemn and dignified
aspects claims this artist’s
devotion; her capricious
moods do not tempt him.
He is a modern, but his
modernity has a character
of its own, perhaps because
he was born at a time when
the modern school was in
its infancy. The artist’s
portrait of himself points
to his abilities in another
direction in which he would
doubtless have excelled
had he not given himself
up to landscape.
Ludwig Ferdinand Graf
exhibited a series of pic-
tures of old gardens in
Bellazio and scenes de-
scriptive of his American
journey, chiefly studies in
light effects. He is essen-
tially a colorist, but one who
is filled with the melody of
brightness, soaring ever higher and higher in his
search for new tones of light. Walter Hampel’s
Biedermeier pictures are full of temperament of
another hue. His Green Dress recalls the grace
of the crinoline; his methods are simple and carried
out with a delicacy and a poetic form peculiarly the
artist’s own. Hugo Baar’s snow-scenes are true bits
of nature, depicted with a masterly hand. Paul
Ress in his Kielwasser showed us a torpedo boat
in motion. Ludwig Kuba, August Roth, Raoul
Frank, Jan Stursa, Glaucon Cambon, Adolf Gross,
Otto Bruenhauser, Jakob Glasner, Josef Ullmann,
J. Stretti, all contributed good work. Ferdinand
Miehl’s coloured etchings of Paris scenes are
worthy performances, while the graphic section was
made additionally attractive by a series of drawings
which have been reproduced in “ Simplicissimus.”
Henryk Uziemblo, K. Sichulski, Leo Delitz and
Vaclav Maly contributed studies relating to peasant
life and customs, showing how rich a harvest may
be reaped in this direction.
Of portraits there were but few, but one, by
O. Alexander, of a Russian lady, and Alexander
Goltz’s portrait of a lady were of special interest.
A whole room was set apart for the drawings and
studies of monkeys by Emmerich Simay. There
