realist of almost primitive vigour was here the pro-
ducer, an artist whose best revelations spring from
rural solitude. The humour of the socialist is
missing in these plodding men and women. How-
ever trenchantly the burden of toil is expressed, its
consequences are not made to appear degrading but
salutary in health and structure. At times this
painter of naturalism is seized with a Zolaesque
enthusiasm for la grande fertilite or the devo-
tional raptures of Breton or Millet in presence of
his patient models in the peaceful fields. He sees
with the modernist’s eye and can render dazzling
sunlight or dawn, summer and winter, with equal
sureness. The decorative element forms a strong
point in his selection, and he does not tie himself
down to a limited range of subjects. His abilities
appear of equal strength in painting, sculpture, and
the graphic arts, and the indefatigable exercise of
such versatile gifts keeps his productive qualities
fresh. Fritz Gartner was born in 1882 at Aussig, but
lives and works in the Westphalian country. After

have been going the round of the chief towns in
Austria and Germany and attracting a well-deserved
attention. J. J.
