The Vienna Secession
nature. His landscapes are singularly well chosen
and distinguished in their execution. Oswald Roux
is a young artist who is rapidly making headway.
His technical skill is undoubted, while he achieves
effects with the simplest means. Josef Engelhart,
an artist of many parts, exhibited works of sculpture
of high artistic merit, some attractive landscapes,
and some excellent portraits.
Many of the works exhibited derived their
motives from those ancient cities which abound
in different parts of Austria and her Crown
Lands. Alois Haenisch depicted bits of Eggen-
burg, an old town whose still existing walls have
more than once defied the enemy. He also
showed a number of pencil drawings of rare merit.
Ludwig Sigmundt's Street in Weissenkirchen was
undoubtedly one of the finest pictures in the
exhibition. Anton Novak's pictures are always
welcome. This time he sent scenes from Krummau,
in Bohemia, and other ancient towns, all having
that general air of distinction which is so charac-
teristic of this artist. Richard Harlfinger exhibited
some fine pictures of the valley of the Mur, in
Styria, and Lake Hallstatt. I must not omit to
mention an excellent rendering of the park at
Schonbrunn with the palace in the background, by
Ernst Eck, and Maxmillian Lenz's Ein lieber Abend
and Wiener Fruchfln, both remarkable for richness
of colour.
Rudolf Jettmar, whose fertile fancy still roams in
the realm of classical myth, contributed a vigorous
interpretation of the old story of Hercules and the
Hesperides, and the romantic imagination was also
to be seen at work in the charming Konigskinder
of Franz Wacik. Ludwig Ehrenhaft, Max Esterle,
Adolf Zdrazila, Geo. Gerlach, Karl Schmoll von
Eisenwerth, Hans Tichy, Vlastimil Hofmann,
Stanislaus Kamocki, Abraham Neumann, Anton
Kerschbaum, Artur Markowicz, Rudolf Nissl, Pietro
Marussig, Leo Frank, Hans von Hayek, Franz
Burian, Karl Miiller, Hermann Grom-Rottmayer,
and Stephan Filipkiewicz all contributed works of
a high order.
Among the portraits shown those by Ludwig
Wieden, Armin Horovitz, F. M. Zerlacher, Gustav
Lehmann, and Alfred Offner call for special
mention. Some few pictures were exhibited by
lady artists—Crete Widen-Veit, Elsa Kasimir, and
Louise Fraenkel-Hahn, who exhibited an excellent
study of anemones. A. S. Levetus.
