"the artist's son" by prof. t. axentowicz
(Sztuka Exhibition, Cracow)
Roller, whose "Wachauer Gasthaus " was
a perfect reproduction of one of those
quaint inns one comes across in this
part of the Danube. Every detail was
given — the terrace for the gentry, the
house-door for the ordinary people, pecu-
liarities of costume and dress were faith-
fully reproduced. Victor Schufinsky, a
Professor at the Fachschule at Znaim,
also contributed several beautiful toys,
including a miniature theatre. A. S. L.
CRACOW.—The last exhibition
of the "Sztuka" Society,
though small, contained some
few works of a high artistic
value, notably some pastel portraits by
Prof. Axentowicz, whose love of a fine
subdued colouring is not the least charm
of his work. These included two por-
traits of members of the Imperial family
—the Archduke Karl Stephan and his
daughter, the Archduchess Renata—one
a study of black in black and the other
of black and white, but both of them
masterly in execution. A portrait of a
mother and child, rose in rose, is beau-
tiful in colouring, soft and delicate; that
the child, in a brocade arm-chair, in a white dress,
is leaning against a soft green cushion, is admir-
able. The same may be said of his Ruthenian
peasant girl, a favourite subject with this artist.
Prof, von Mehoffer, who has become a past-master
in designs for stained-glass windows, was well
represented, his cartoon for Christ, destined for
the Wawel cathedral, being an admirable example
of this class of work. Olga Boznanska sent some
excellent studies of women.
Prof. Falat's contribution was a characteristic
snow picture, with an old wooden church as the
chief feature. Czajowski, who seeks his motifs in
