there was some decent painting done by
younger men who are coming gradually
to the front. Georg Greve - Lindau
(Weimar) is one of them. He was con-
spicuous last year at Darmstadt by a self-
portrait in oils, a work of strong accent,
and some etchings at the Hamburg Exhi-
bition. This year he seems to have
advanced into a sphere of freedom hitherto
unattained by him. His impressionism
grasps at the essence of things as they
appear in passing moments, not for the
sake of a peculiar technical trick, but
painted for their own sake, painted so that
we feel the whole thing though we see
but a part. Carlos Grethe's Krevettefischer
(Crab-fisher) and Yacht Cruise, Hamburg,
may pass without comment as specimens
of modern marine painting of a broad
and noble tone, like his lithograph, Pilot
going Aboard, reproduced in The Studio
of September last. A very charming
picture is Hans Baluschek's Sommerfest, a
festival of children in the Schoneberg
suburb of Berlin. The little ones are
coming forward from the background of
bricks and mortar, entering a green square
of little garden land in the foreground.
The red light of their Chinese lanterns is
shining on their faces, the faces of child-
hood in a hot metropolis, all aglow, and
contrasting in a peculiar manner with the
waning twilight of a summer evening.
