contributed several pictures, all of interest and
artistic value, perhaps the finest being a portrait
study of his daughter, a fair girl in blue, and his two
sons grouped together. Here the artist shows a
fine instinct for colour-effects and composition.
He possesses a right sense of movement and feeling
for light and shade. Viktor Madarasz, a veteran
of eighty years and upwards, must have been a
fine artist in his day, to judge from the work he
exhibited. Naturally he is of the old school, but
this does not detract from his merits. Gusztav
Kollar’s pictures of Brasso, as the ancient fortress
of Kronstadt is called in Hungarian, are capable
studies of this old city, well drawn and agreeable
in colouring.
There were several other interesting pictures, but
it must suffice to mention the names of the artists :
Denes Csanki, TivadarZemplenyi, G. Mannheimer,
Istvan Zichy, Nandor Katona, Istvan Bosznay, and
E. K. Komaromi.
But little space is left to refer to the sculpture.
Very good work was exhibited by Ede Teles,
Csiszar, Lajos Pick, E. F. Kormendi, Z. Kisfaludi-
Strobl, Ede Margd, and Istvan Szentgyorgi. Each
of these sculptors works in a different way, but they
are all sincere in their methods and in their manner
of execution.
As the exhibits in this jubilee exhibition
numbered more than nine hundred it is of course
quite impossible to deal with them in detail, and
one must be content with a general survey. Some
really deserving artists are oftentimes overlooked,
but this does not mean that they have not found
appreciation. A. S. Levetus.
Among recent acquisitions of works by contem-
porary British artists for public galleries, we note
the following: Mr. Orpen’s picture of The Jockey
has been acquired by the Swedish National Gallery,
Stockholm; Mr. Gwelo Goodman’s Borrowdale
Valley, Winter, by the Corporation of Hudders-
field ; Mr. Hughes-Stanton’s large picture of St.
Jan, Avignon, exhibited at the recent International
Art Exhibition, Rome, has been purchased by the
Italian Government for the Royal Gallery of
Modern Art at Florence ; Sir James Linton’s The
Banquet has gone to the City of Nottingham Art
Museum; and Mr. J. W. Waterhouse’s Penelope's
Web has been purchased for ^1400 by the
Aberdeen City Council.
