BUDAPEST.—At a recent exhibition of
the graphic work of Gyula Conrad
opportunity was given to observe how
great an advance this Hungarian artist has
made. He is not unknown to readers of The
Studio, for reproductions of his etchings have
from time to time appeared in its pages, and his
exceptional talent as a graphic artist has been
generally recognised, the chief collections on the
Continent having acquired examples of his work.
Conrad is a keen observer, and an artist with a fine
imagination • he does not aim at being prolific but

studies thoughtfully and always endeavours to give
to the world only the very best in him. There is a
certain suggestiveness in his work which makes it
particularly attractive, an atmospheric subtlety
which combined with strength and character makes
it both striking and interesting. Conrad’s art is
always sympathetic, there is the freshness of youth
in it, and he expresses clearly and forcibly that
which he means to convey to the observer ; there is
in his utterance no trace of that vagueness which so
often mars an otherwise sympathetic composition.
