works with finest tonalities in some small frames,
and Carl Moll’s effective Phlox, an excerpt from
the exuberance of garden - vegetation, reveals
unexpected possibilities for the selective eye in
this domain also. Heinrich Hiibner is advancing
as the renderer of finely-selected interiors, and
Ulrich Htibner’s brush has the lightness of touch
for breezy atmosphere and dancing wavelets.
Fritz Rhein is coming to the front this year in
portraiture, landscape and genre. His Interior, with
its cleverly observed
figures of modern society,
seems, perhaps, to indi-
cate the path he is best
fitted to travel. From his
stay under the oriental
sun Leo von Konig has
caught new colour inten-
sities. Linde-Walther and
Philipp Franck, the one
in his simplifying, the
other in his complicated
style, successfully con-
tinue endeavours to render
realistic truth. Sterl is a
good delineator of orches-
tral musicians at full
work, but he sacrifices
draughtsmanship to direct
statement of colour-

original designers, and “a dutch village’

the general quality of the
work shown was good,
while the decorative
arrangements effected by
architect Robert Orley won universal praise. The
division of the building into a number of rooms
radiating from a central semi-circular space was a
highly-pleasing feature.

There were but few portraits, but the quality
made up for lack of quantity. Josef Engelhart’s
pastel portraits of tiny children, and Ludwig
Wieden’s portrait of an auburn-haired young lady
in black velvet standing before an old-gold brocade

Breyer seems growing in
figural possibilities. The
portraits of Pankok are
tasteful and reliable stud-
ies, but suffer from a
certain tightness of flesh
and pose. Lepsius’s Lady
in White is more highly
organised in spite of too
much looseness, and yet
not altogether pleasing in
shape and tone. J. J.
