the distance. The other painting which we repro-

and graceful vision of the Allee des Acacias.

In the exhibitions organised by them at their
galleries in the Rue Richepanse, MM. Bernheim
give proof of the utmost eclecticism. Certainly
that with which they brought their season to a close
must be reckoned among the most interesting of
the year. It was an exhibition of the works of
Forain, who is without doubt one of the most
captivating personalities in French art, and a worthy
descendant of Daumier and the powerful carica-
turists of the school of 1840. It is
above all in caricature that Forain’s
reputation has been made; for more
than a quarter of a century he has been
castigating the politicians in power just
as Daumier did Louis Philippe and his
Ministers, and that with a wealth of in-
vention, a sharpness of satire, and an
ingeniousness of verbal comment, such
as no one before him has possessed. But
Forain is at the same time a painter of a
most robust order; in the austere realism
of certain of his canvases he approaches
very closely to Degas. H. F.
ERLIN.—The admirable portrait of the
German Emperor by Mr. Philip Laszlo,
which we are enabled by courtesy of
the Berlin Photographic Company to
reproduce in colours, is, without doubt, one of the
artist’s most successful achievements. In addition
to this portrait of His Majesty, Mr. Laszlo executed
at the same time portraits of the Empress and
other members of the Imperial family, and the
exhibition of all these portraits at Schulte’s gallery
was one of the notable events of the past season.
The Berlin Royal Arts and Crafts Museum has
arranged an exhibition of furniture trimmings with
The next Autumn Salon will have as
special features an exhibition of Italian
Art and the works of the German painter,
von Marees.
