STUDY TABLE AND CABINET IN EAST INDIAN SATINWOOD, WITH BOXWOOD INLAY. DESIGNED FOR H.I.H. THE
CROWN PRINCE OF GERMANY BY WILHELM KIMBEL ; EXECUTED BY KIMBEL AND FRIEDRICHSEN, BERLIN
and in portraiture. Keller is an extraordinary
draughtsman and colourist. His line can assume
a psychic delicacy like that of Khnopff, and his
tones can vie with those of Renner or Stevens.
The master in the sphere of aesthetic culture is
not tied down by any scheme of tonalities; his
varying colour juxtapositions afford real enjoyment
and his art convinces of maturity. The portraits
of Albert Gartmann looked rather commonplace
in such company, yet his male portraits gave proof
of considerable talent and some still-life pieces
showed real gifts. In landscape Georg Dreydorff
offered some winter views of lyric charm, and
their delicacy and grace of line testified to careful
training. Baron von Schlippenbach treated similar
subjects with a more energetic brush, but in some
instances also achieved the hibernal mood.

Oscar Haberer has for some years past been
doing much towards the revival of wood intarsia for
the composition of pictorial themes, a procedure
which has been practised by very few artists in
modern days, although it is capable of yielding
excellent results as a means of decoration. It is, oi
course, important that the artist who practises this
sort of work should have an intimate knowledge
of various kinds of wood, in order that he may
make adequate use of the natural grain which plays
an essential part in the composition of an intarsia
picture. Herr Haberer has achieved considerable
success with his own work in this direction, and
has more than once been the recipient of medals or
other prizes at exhibitions, one of the most recent
being a gold medal for work shown at the Brussels
Exhibition two years ago. He hails from Baden
and studied first at the Arts and Crafts School at
Karlsruhe, and subsequently at the Art Academy
in Munich.

excellent productions of contemporary French
decorative art. Immediately upon entering the
