“crocus” BY ALICE NORDIN
past been an attractive feature ot art exhibitions in
Stockholm, and any one who compares her work
of seven or eight years ago, when some examples
were reproduced in these pages, with what she is
doing at the present day will perceive that she has
not stood still. Her group of three children in-
tently watching a flock of wild geese winging their
way high above their heads, reveals at once her
technical mastery of the plastic medium and her
true womanly sympathy with child life, while her
figure of Crocus displays in no less degree her
appr eciation of graceful form and the imaginative
vein which is a characteristic of so much of her work.
Miss Nordin has executed a large number of
portrait busts, and, indeed, her career has been
a very busy one ever since she left the Academy
on the completion of her training some sixteen
years ago, when she received from that body the
much coveted Royal Medal for her Spring Dream.
On leaving the Academy she spent some time in
Paris and Rome ; in the French capital she worked
under Injalbert in the Colarossi Studios, and
always looks back to this time as the real com-
mencement of her art career. T. R.
COPENHAGEN. — Mile. Helen Dohl-
mann is a young Danish sculptress
who has studied in Paris and attracted
a flattering attention at the Salon with
one or two exhibits. The Little Flute-Player, of
which an illustration is given below, is one of
her more modest efforts, but shows to advantage
her careful study and a certain self-contained
sense of humour. _
There seems to be springing up what may almost
be called a cult of the cushion, a revival which the
present scribe for one hails with pleasure, inasmuch
as the cushion, skilfully designed and worked,
fulfils a mission, albeit, a modest mission, in
making the home beautiful. Several Continental
countries can show charming results in this con-
nection and amongst these Denmark may claim
her place. On p. 74 are given illustrations of three
cushions all designed by Mr. Christian Permin,
whose work is• marked by a pleasing self-contain-
ment, both in the matter of line and colour. The
first of the three is of straw-coloured silk, the
embroidered flowers are a clear yellow, and the
leaves a greyish-green toned down so as not to clash.
