this is not the place to refer in detail to their works,
but a special mention should be made of the
retrospective collection of pictures by John Lewis
Brown. This artist, who lived during the second
half of the nineteenth century, was the friend of
Manet and of Degas, and is somewhat closely akin
artistically to the former of these painters, whose
vigorous blacks and decided contrasts may be
found in his works also. J. L. Brown was par
excellence the painter of sport and hunting. His
canvases depict the races, horses at exercise,
mounted officers, coaches on the road or on parade,
and stags or boars being hunted through the woods
and they form admirable documents ; but not
merely this, for the artist gives proof, furthermore,
of admirable ability as a
landscapist.

who is generally called “ Doderhult ” after his
birthplace, carves in wood grotesque caricatures
of certain types of our people whose figures have
not profited by the exercise of Ling’s gymnastics
and whose picturesqueness is due to the various
expressions given to these bodies by fatiguing toil,
indolent abundance, dulness of intellect, and souls
confined and bitter. His work is the revenge
taken on society by a genial but heartless wizard.

the repressed love hidden there; we see it directed

powerful yet sensitive touches. A. G.

young artist, M. Giroust,

gouache most cleverly, and
