Studio-Talk

Applied Art, but did not receive the prominence
they merited, being crowded amongst a large col-
lection of trade bindings. The Countess, whose
husband, Count Louis Sparre, is well known
to readers of The Studio as an artist of much in-
dividuality, is herself a gifted woman, and her work,
as exemplified by these bindings, will, we are sure,
meet with wide appreciation on account of the fine
decorative feeling which it reveals. In three of
these bindings the ground colour is yellow, the
other ("Herr Arnes Penningar' ) being worked on
a dark green ground with a little gold and red by
way of relief. The cover of de Musset's book is
worked with hot tools, and the decoration is carried
out in green, yellow, pink, brown and black,
judiciously distributed. Various subdued colours
are also effectively employed for the " Italiensk
Renassans," while in the address-book cover the
dark yellow ground is pleasantly relieved by red
and green.

COPENHAGEN. — The name of Mr.
Carl Brummer, the Danish architect,
is not unknown to the readers of this
journal, inasmuch as The Studio a
year or two ago contained some reproductions of
" Ellestnen," a charming and original house, one of

the architect's earliest efiorts, which attracted a most
flattering attention on both sides of the Atlantic.
" Ellestnen " was partly designed after certain old
northern motifs, ably adapted and handled, thus
illustrating one side of Brummer's artistic nature!.
He believes in the continuity of art, in evolving,
to some extent at least, the new from out of
the past, sifting and choosing or rejecting style
and motif, at times, however, almost completely
discarding tradition, though more often than
not, I think, adapting and shaping it in con-
formity with his own artistic individuality, at
the same time carefully considering the personal
tastes and requirements of the future occupants.
Brummer unquestionably is a domestic architect of
rare ability, and the illustrations published to-day
will bear out what I have said with reference both
to his exceptional gift of thoroughly entering into
a given style and the personal originality with
which he endows other specimens of his work.
The house of Dr. Ernst Moller, the advocate,
may be taken as a good example of the latter
category. It is really a most excellent house, with
exceptionally well-balanced and harmonious con-
tours which betray the architect's fondness for good
sweeping curves, with the red-tiled roof, the red
brick walls (of a happily chosen mellow colour and
