Studio: international art (47.1909)

Studio-Talk

may call a Parisian at least if not a Frenchman);
among British artists Th. Shoard, J. R. Reid, J. W.
Hamilton, R. W. Allan, D. Y. Cameron, Miss
Jessie King, etc. Maurice Boutet de Monvel has
sent only one small picture, but it is one of the
best things in the Exhibition ; the same holds true
—it goes without saying—of the four wonderful
little paintings F. Khnopff has contributed; and I
must not forget to mention Carl Larsson.

All the many schools of Germany are represented
pretty well, above all the Dresden artists, as was
to be expected. Otto Fischer, A. Fischer-Gurig,
G. Kuehl, E. Hauptmann, F. Beckert, J. Ufer,
are a few of the names selected at random, which
show how well our local artists are able to hold
their own in the general race. There are one-man
shows—on a moderate scale—of F. von Lenbach,
Herman Prell and G. Kuehl. The first of these
might well have been dispensed with, since none
but the very late pastels have been secured for
exhibition, and Lenbach does not show up to
advantage in them. Taken altogether, the exhibi-
tion is, as I mentioned before, an excellent one,
and not a bad makeshift for the large, general

Fine Art Exhibition, which we have to do without
this year, because the grounds are occupied by the
International Photographic Exhibition.

This latter is, indeed, a sight for this year’s
visitors to Dresden, and a huge one at that. The
show has been preparing for many years, and has
been laid out on a carefully-thought-out and large
plan. Nearly every fashion and form of photo-
graphy and every branch of human activity in
which photography has played a part are shown
from the early days down to our own. H. W. S.

STOCKHOLM.—The illustrations we give
on these pages from the Exhibition of
Swedish Applied Art at Stockholm are
intended to supplement those we pub-
lished in the article on the exhibition which
appeared in our last issue. As our readers were
therein made acquainted with the chief points of
interest in this unique display of Swedish design
and craftsmanship, detailed comment on these
supplementary illustrations is unnecessary. We
are glad to be able to give some views of the ex-
hibition buildings as evidence of the resourceful
