Studio- Talk
Notre Dame, Hochard, always very characteristic,
by paintings of Normandy churches, Mutterlich
showed us the churches of Brittany, and the entire
collection formed a truly interesting and almost
unique ensemble.
The society La Comedie Humaine, so admirably
presided over by M. Arsene Alexandre, an old
friend of The Studio, has held its customary
exhibition at Petit’s, an exhibition of particular
vivacity in which our humorous artists gave us of
their very best. I marked especially the delightful
little pieces contributed by Jean Veber, the draw-
ings in which Sem cleverly depicted well-known
Parisians in the form of different animals, some
beautiful illuminated work by Mme. Leone George-
Reboux, pastels by Faivre, and the drawings of
such exquisite fantasy by J. Dresa.
In one of the rooms at Petit’s M. Jacques
Jourdan held an exhibition of about fifty pictures,
views of Provence and the Seine. His work has a
sincerity and a fine feeling for colour that lead one
to expect great things from this young artist. Yet
another one-man show was that of the works of
M. Raphael Schwartz in the Barbazanges Galleries,
which, to my thinking, are the best-appointed and
the most delightful galleries we have just now in
Paris. M. Schwartz exhibited various pieces of
sculpture, certain of which were very important
works, some portraits and some landscapes, all of
very individual characteristics. I have, however,
a preference for this artist’s work with the needle.
He has executed a whole series of plates of such
veracity and of such vigorous treatment as to con-
stitute a veritable harvest of good things. Among
his best studies of heads I noticed those of
Bartholome, Raffaelli, Prince Roland Bonaparte,
Verhaeren, Besnard, Pascal Forthuny, and Renoir.
The Eclectique introduced a very agreeable
innovation into their recent annual exhibition at
Chaine and Simonsson’s in giving us an ensemble of
works by Argentine painters whom they invited to
contribute. Among these were Firmin Arango, E.
de la Carcova, R. Garcia, A. Lagos, Jose Merediz,
but these interesting works did not cause one to
forget the productions of the old supporters of the
society, such as Pierre Calmettes, always so happy
in his interiors ; Augustin Rey, who sent a magni-
