lerhaus," the first exhibition being devoted mainly to
the works of members of the Society of German-
Moravian artists. Members of all the Vienna
art societies, Kiinstler-Genossenschaft, Secession,
Hagenbund, and " Kunstschau," contributed as
guests.
Prominent among the sculptors were Prof. Hugo
Lederer, Carl Wollek, Franz Barwig, Theodor
Cbarlemont, Hans Schiifer, who all showed first-
rate work. A new-comer made his appearance in the
person of Leopold Hohl, whose grave monument,
now reproduced (p. 248), is a highly capable work.
Siegfried Bauer's Athlete and a terra-cotta bust by
Heinrich Zita showed sound workmanship, and
Theodor Charlemont exhibited an unconventional
portrait statue. Carl Wollek sent a series of works
of particular interest, because one rarely has an
opportunity of seeing any but isolated examples of
work by this fine sculptor. His Bather attracted
much attention by its beauty of conception and its
admirable lineaments.
Not many portraits were shown at this exhibition,
but among those who sent works of this description
were Ludwig Wieden, whose portraiture is essen-
tially virile and has a fine decorative element, and
Emil Pirchan, who sent several things of interest.
Tina Jelinek, a girl artist of promise, exhibited a
picture entitled Der Photograph which displayed
good qualities, and in particular a fine feeling for
colour.
Among the painters of landscapes and genre
pictures many old acquaintances were present—
Eduard Veith, Hans Temple, Hugo Charlemont,
Ernst Novak, Hugo Baar, Adolf Kaufman, among
others. Carl Thuma's contributions proved that
the authorities did well to persuade him to come
for the nonce out of his shell. He is an artist who
sees things broadly ; there is breadth and tone in all
his efforts, and he has, besides, a wide vista. I
noted especially his Letztes Strohdach (The Last
Straw Roof), poetic in conception and expres-
sion, and his Country Lane in Autumn, a con-
vincing work showing earnest thought. Thoma
also showed some interesting etchings and
drawings.
Another new-comer was Gustav Bohm, whose
pictures have always a touch of ballad poetry in
them. What a history his Second-hand Shop could
tell! He has caught the spirit of his subject; his
methods are of the simplest—it is as though he
