" BEATRICE " BY PROF. WILHELM WANDSCHNEIDER
Egyptian rigidity of form. Feuerbach qualities
were discernible in some nudes by Hans Briihlmann,
but he also showed himself strongly influenced by
Picasso and Cezanne. The miniatures and drawings
of Paul Cohen reminded one of old Oriental
illuminators and Beardsley.
At Schulte's the prominent feature was a com-
prehensive collection of Hans Thoma's works.
Although one cannot accept the ideal of beauty
recurring in his imaginative works, strangely akin
to the types of Cranach and Altdorfer, he is
delightful when he takes cognisance of his lovely
Black Forest valleys and their genial atmosphere
and when he depicts the sympathetic simple-
minded mountaineers. Such a sound and dis-
tinguished realist as Friedrich Kallmorgen could
not fail to win new friends with his glimpses of
German towns and country scenes and his Dutch
pictures. His technique has wisely assimilated
modern modes of expression. In the Lesser Ury
room one's attention was almost tyrannically
arrested by strange colour-combinations and psychic
emanations, but a closer study revealed a lack of
executive reliability. It confirmed doubts as to the
324
durability of the reputation of this much-discussed
artist. Some landscapes by the Swiss painter,
Adolf Stabli, exercised a certain fascination by
the gloomy beauty of their tempestuous com-
munications.
The Cassirer Salon provided a rare treat in a
Pissarro show which summed up the life-work of
this follower of Corot and Courbet, who lived in
personal communion with the silent country and
the seething city. It was interesting to observe in
an exhibition of works by Benno Berneis, in
these galleries, how Cubism had been consulted in
monumental compositions with a note of tragic
imaginativeness.
At the Kiinstlerhaus the sculptor and painter
Henryk Glicenstein gave proofs of a capacity for
portraiture and imaginative work. A deep study
of nature entitles this realist and philosopher to
appear also as a stylist. J. J.
