mer Night, was a fine example of the methods
of this artist. Hans Ranzoni's work has often
been referred to in these pages, and as shown
on this occasion was quite up to his best.
Eduard Zetsche, Max Suppantschitsch, Ferdi-
nand Brunner, Thomas Leitner, Alfred Zoff,
Friedrich Beck, Karl F. Gsur, Heinrich Tomec,
Karl Pippich, Marie Egner, Karl Fahringer,
Hugo Charlemont, Ludwig Koch, Karl Sterrer,
Adolf Kaufmann, Othmar Ruzicka and Franz
Windhager all sent representative works. Josef
Kopf's water-colour, Cleaning up the Studio,
and a profile portrait in pastel by Karl Froschl
were two very attractive works showing inti-
mate understanding of their respective media.
Portraiture was also well represented in draw-
ings by Heinrich Rauchinger, Nicolaus Schat-
tenstein, W. V. Krausz, R. Germela, Heinrich
von Angeli, John Quincy Adams, J. Sternfeld,
and Robert Schiff. A. S. L.

BERLIN.—It is the indisputable merit of
the Berlin Secession to have fostered
and stimulated an interest in the gra-
phic arts. Their recent winter exhi-
bition, which was one of unusual importance
and dimensions, again contributed towards this

works of ordinary mem-
bers. Though nominally
an exhibition of water-
colours many other varie-
ties of work were repre-
sented in the exhibition,
such as tempera paintings,
etchings, chalk and pencil
drawings, gouache, pastel,
tempera-pastel, in fact all
and everything except oil
paintings.

Among the 300 odd pic-
tures exhibited many were
devoted to subjects taken
from Austrian scenery
and architecture. Oswald
Grill's contributions were
some lovely motives from
the Wachau, that charm-
ing spot on the Danube
which is so little known
but which offers so much
to those of an artistic
temperament. Hugo
