Studio-Talk
which have fascinated this artist, who has also
found some congenial themes in German parks and
pastures. One could enjoy the decorator’s love
for clouds and classical accessories and also the
realist’s eye for air and trees and cattle. Sympathy
with the subject pervaded each picture and in
contemplative and lyrical interpretation the in-
fluence of the Bracht school was traceable.
The Salon Schulte has been showing the collec-
tion of works grouped together under the title
“ Places of Labour ” (Statten der Arbeit) which
has been on view in several German towns. This
homage to the modern spirit of industrialism has
opened new fields for landscape and genre painting.
Pictorial themes have been discovered by the artists
of all countries in factories, harbours, steelworks,
glassworks, and timber-yards. Frequently these
subjects are rendered with a social tendency, but
more often, perhaps, as purely pictorial exercises.
Eugen Bracht evinced no decline of vigour in the
rendering of prosaic scenes, and H. Heyenbrock
maintained his reputution as a decorative ex-
pressionist, although he does not sacrifice detail.
It was delightful to feel convinced of almost
dynamic energy in the labourers of Robert Sterl,
who is also an exquisite colourist, and Walter
Klemm proved his customary directness in some
scenes of city life. Brangwyn, Pennell, Baluschek,
and Paeschke were prominent in the graphic
section. J. J.
BARCELONA.—In the Salon Pares the
distinguished artist Santiago Rusinol re-
cently showed some of his latest work,
executed during a sojourn in beautiful
Valencia, Aranjuez, and Gerona. Rusinol has
made a name for himself as the painter of the
gardens of Spain, and every one of his works dis-
plays so much tenderness that one finds it difficult
in presence of a collection of his pictures to dis-
cover any preference, such is the degree of perfec-
tion achieved by the artist in his special field. If
it cannot be said that these latest works were better
