"reverie" (Schulte's Salon, Berlin) by hans unger
At the Lyceum Club of Paris Miss Blondelle
Malone held the first of her private exhibitions.
This was to be followed by others organised at the
American Art Students' Club in January and at the
Boutet de Monvel Gallery in February. Miss
Malone's sunny pictures evoke memories of those
southern lands she loves and which with her
gay and fresh palette she particularly delights to
paint. Here we had nothing but sunshine flowers
and azure gulfs. As M. Maurice Guillemot wrote in
the preface to the catalogue: "These limpid, vibrant
paintings are perpetual invitations to travel and the
sight of these sunny skies is a pretext for happy
contemplation and sweet vagabond day-dreams."
Among the subjects which have attracted Miss
Malone in England we find : Pink Hydrangeas
at the Duke of Marlborough's, Hoses and the
Pleasaunce at the Countess oj Warwick's, The
Garden of King William and Queen Mary at
Hampton Court: Wild Hyacinths and Sion House,
and Crocuses in Regents Park. In Paris the Rosery
at Bagatelle, the Luxembourg and Tuileries Gardens
have afforded Miss Malone some delightful sub-
jects, and she has also painted scenes in Greece,
Italy, Sicily and some picturesque landscapes of
Japan. H. F.
BERLIN.—In the Schulte Salon during
December Ludwigvon Zumbusch claimed
attention with portraits of children and
figure subjects of the cultivated and
sympathetic Munich style. One felt attracted by
a spirit of freshness and fantasy, by a blending of
pensiveness and good humour, and enjoyed the
warm touch of sonorous local colours and decora-
tive grace. Plans Unger's aspirations again centred
in Roman grandiosity. In his female figures and
still-life subjects his idealising realism somewhat
oversteps the modesty of nature, yet occasionally
he reaches symbolic power. An almost fanatical
striving after pure and beautiful form appears to
guide his brush, but although he succeeds in
achieving exquisite delicacies of tone, as in his
beautiful large composition Morning, one missed
the full Feuerbach and Bocklin orchestration in
most of the works of this predestined heir of those
masters. Hans von Yolkmann's quiet and tender
landscapes made an instant appeal, and Erich
Biittner showed himself a skilful designer of
actualities.
The programme at the Caspar Salon was inter-
national, and showed careful selection. It was a
pleasure to study the sureness and reserve of
