occasion, and A. Arkhipoff, also, in a genre scene of large
dimensions but somewhat too summary in treatment, dis-
played more feeling for colour and more " temperament"
than he has in recent years. S. Malyutin, besides a capital
self-portrait in pastel, exhibited an interesting twilight effect
in which an inn was the motif, forming a new note in his
muvre. On the other hand, there was nothing in the con-
tributions of Apollinarius Vasnetsoff and the other older
landscape painters of the " Soyouz" calling for special
comment. L. Pasternak was, as usual, represented by some
drawings of distinction and also by an excellent portrait of
Engel, the musical critic, but his Tolstoi on his Death-bed
cannot be reckoned among his successful achievements
and met with little favour.
Among the younger members of the " Soyouz " mention
should first be made of K. Yuon, in whom the landscapist
and the genre painter are most happily united. He has
returned to those motifs from Russian provincial life by
which he first made a name, but he now handles them in a
more decorative manner, and if at the
same time they have lost some of that
intimate character they used to have,
the sense of colour is more marked.
The striving after a more intensive
colourism is indeed characteristic of
Russian painters in general at the
present time, but some, such as
Shukovsky and Petrovitcheff, have
not attained to any favourable results
in this direction ; the latter indeed has
wholly sacrificed his earlier and quite
personal colourism. N. Krymoff's
talent shows a consistent develop-
ment, and of a couple of paintings
offered by this young artist, both quite
