nature with a melodic beauty of form and colour
in which there is no dissonance. The French
influences which have gone far to mould Mr.
Cadell’s work were seen in some impressions of
femininity that were convincing in their very
audacity. _
The most important of Mr. Alison’s work was
LAttente, a large picture which is reproduced—
an ambitious work for an artist of his experience,
but containing its own justification. Mr. Sinclair
showed a good full-length portrait of Lady Dunedin
and Dutch and Venetian landscapes, while in the
other rooms most of the group were represented
by water-colour or crayon drawings. A. E.
BERLIN.— The Salon Schulte inaugurated
the Berlin autumn season with a com-
prehensive exhibition of works by Carl
Schuch. This master, who died in 1903,
was a member of the Liebl and Triibner circle,
but was quite unknown to the wider public. Twice
have posthumous collections of his works attracted
notice at Schulte’s, and the power and persuasive-
ness of his talent have quickly ranged him among
the German classics of the nineteenth century.
The strong impression which emanates from his
art results both from its pictorial and from its emo-
tional qualities. A technique which has absorbed
the teachings of Ruisdael, Courbet, and Manet, but
which is always remarkable for absolute sureness
and saneness, and a pronounced spirituality make
an immediate impression. Colour remained his
ideal, and although he loved a limited palette his
tones laugh and glow and his shading is wonder-
fully rich. Local colour always dominates, but
perspective and atmosphere are never neglected.
Schuch’s speciality was still-life. He arranged a
few simple objects before a neutral background,
but simple as they were they were mostly conceived
througn a medium of grandeur, almost of majesty.
The same spirit is vividly revealed in his landscapes.
The artist studied under Halanska in Vienna, his
native town, and after much travelling settled in
Munich. He worked and travelled with his friend
Triibner, lived for some years in Venice and Paris,
