Studio- Talk
masters. He reappeared
with some moorland pic-
tures, in which his sappy
and poetic art has con-
vincingly mirrored the
grandeur of plain, the
dreamy mood of the
harbour, the joyousness of
cornfields and autumnal
witchery of beeches.
A select quantity of
Belgian pictures has been
on view in Casper's Salon.
Pictures of rather small
dimensions, distinguished
by refined colourism,
show well in these rooms,
where tradition and mod-
ernism are alike valued as
"europa" (See Vienna Studio-Talk) by michel mortl
Ziemssen's talent was favourably introduced by
divers busts and plaquettes.
At Schulte's art gallery we have at last been
enabled to form a final opinion on the talent of
Wilhelm Schreuer, the Diisseldorf painter whose
occasional pictures here have always attracted
attention. He is a queer reviver of the Dutch
classics of the interior, but though not as rich as
they in his palette, he is by his very monotonies of
brown or grey or black and white and by very
economical colour-touches delicately dealt out
over them, quite surprising and delightful. He is
also wider in his range of subject, as scenes from
war time as well as from modern society life form
his particular delight. He often indulges in the
historical costume, preferring that of Frederician
times. His frames are generally modest, and
however numerous his figures are he knows very
cleverly how to place them, and catches actuality
convincingly in their movements. It is said that
his eye and hand are so sure, that he paints his
pictures straight from memory and then wipes
out the passages not wanted. Schreuer does not
belong to our great ones, as the style of the illus-
trator hovers round his work, but in his individual
character he is one of our most original artists.
At Fritz Gurlitt's, all the friends of Heimat-
kunst (home-art) were glad to greet Hans am
Ende, one of the staunchest and finest Worpswede
masters. He reappeared
