Hofner, and Karl Philipp are also well represented.
There are some fine specimens of wood-sculpture
by Zelezny, and Prof. Strasser’s small polychrome
terra-cotta figure of a bishop in full vestments is in
its way a gem. Prof. S. Schwartz contributes a
number of medals and plaquettes, among them the
Rondo here reproduced, and other excellent work
of the same class comes from Hujer, Hartig, Perl
and Hofner. Numerous ceramic figures are ex-
hibited, and Emil Meier’s enamel plaquettes in
silver and chiselled copper are real works of art.
“RONDO” BY STEPHAN SCHWARTZ
(Kiinstlergenossenschaft, Vienna)
is an example of his methods. Other interesting
graphic work is contributed by F. Michl, F. Staeger,
Alois Seibold and Leon von Wyczolkowski. Count
H. Schaffgotsch’s intarsias are worthy of high
praise.
Portraits as usual form an important feature of
the Genossenschaft exhibition. Those of Prof,
von Angeli reveal the master mind and master
hand of yore, and to speak of Leopold Horovitz is
also to tell of a master who for many years has
ranked high as an artist devoted to his work, the
fine qualities of which are esteemed wherever it is
known. John Quincy Adams’s female portraits
show rare skill in handling the draperies, and
though daring in his treatment he always keeps
well within the bounds of good taste. Victor
Scharf contributes but two portraits, that of
the late Baron Tansekowitsch being remarkable
Coming now to the
Genossenschaft’s display, I
am glad to note that the
sculpture here is on the
whole of a far higher quality
than usual and includes
several works of really great
interest, add to which much
taste has been shown in its
arrangement. A grave-
monument by Wollek, exe-
cuted in bronze and granite
is a noble achievement,
and a sarcophagus for the
Polish poet, Zygmunt
Krasinski, by Lewandowski
is extremely beautiful, with
a dignity and simplicity of
treatment and a solemnity
of feeling which fully ac-
cord with its purpose. Prof
Muller has contributed
several works, the chief of
them being a fountain ad-
mirably treated. Albert
Schloss, Adolf Pohl, Can
ciani, Schwerdtner, T.
