Studio: international art (59.1913)

Studio-Talk

wisely controlled by refined selection. This is ex-
emplified in the war scenes of Haug, the figure
subjects of Weise and Faure, and the landscapes
of Reiniger, Grethe, and Pleuer. Vienna is success-
fully represented by painters like Huck, Jettmar,
Bacher, Ebstein and its well-known group of
portrait painters.

Eickhoff-Reitzenstein, Preussner, and Wolfthorn we
shall not have left many works of merit unnoticed.

In the numerous other rooms only a few pictures
call for particular attention. Herbert Arnold again
gives proof of exceptional power in the conception
and treatment of his dramatic vision The Death
Riders. A Biblical subject by H. Vogel arrests
attention, but on closer inspection one misses the
spirit of sanctity. Looschen fails to convince of a
mission for monumental painting, whilst Koberstein
proves himself a skilful wall-decorator, and Raffael
Schuster-Woldan appeals to artistic minds with his
hymn to female beauty. Kiedrich demands notice
for a fine study of morning sunlight, and Schlichting
for originality as a painter
of nocturnal Berlin. Bracht
is not so adequately repre-
sented as his pupils Lang-
hammer, Ter Hell, Wendel,

Kayser-Eichberg, and Uth.

Kallmorgen again wins
sympathy, but painters of
his training such as Ttircke,

Kocke, Liedtke, and Wild-
hagen have nothing new
of outstanding interest for
us. The young painter
Otto Heinrich makes a
good impression, and Roloff
and Eichhorst] deserve
closer inspection for pic-
torial finesse. Among the
portraitists Hellhof should
be remembered for taste
and felicitous arrangement
in female portraiture, while
the male sex is best ren-
dered by Vogel, Schulte im
Hofe, Robbecke, Herz, and
Ziegler. When we have
mentioned some figure
pictures by Angermeyer,

Ploutke, and Ernst Lieber-
mann, the street scenes of
Honiger, studies of ducks
by Koster, interiors by
Brandis, and still-life
pieces by Bloos, Albrecht,

Amongst the works of sculpture only a few
striking exhibits are to be found. Here Lederer,
Starck, Pagels, Briitt, Cornelia Paczka, and Janensch
offer work of interest. All the best names are
to be found in the graphic section, yet this collec-
tion cannot be considered an impressive repre-
sentation of the vital aspirations cherished within
this domain. J. J.

kARIS.—From time to time the various
galleries in Paris give one an excellent
opportunity for studying the work of those
who may or may not have evaded notice
in the larger Salons, and not amongst the least of
such exhibitions are those held in the galleries of
Messrs. Chaine and Simonson. Amongst the most
recent shown there the forty-one coloured chalk
