Studio: international art (62.1914)

its luminous distances, and Terzi
gave us a portrait and one of his
brilliant nude studies, painted in
the divisionist method. In the
next room we found Arturo Noci,
a brilliant Roman artist, whose
work at the Secession I had oc-
casion to mention last year: he
had this year a portrait study
and landscapes of Burano and
Terracina. Discovolo's landscape
here, with its exquisitely finished
drawing, and Nicola D'Antino's
little bronzes of dancing-girls called
for notice; but the finest painting
of the room, and I would almost
say of the exhibition, was the
Chicsa d'Oro, a wonderful view of
S. Marco at Venice by the Venetian
Pietro Fragiacomo.

The third and fourth rooms were
set apart for the Austrian Seces-
"thk enchanted sea" ky umberto prencipe sionists. One of them, exquisitely

draped and carpeted in deep rich

colour etching produced in Belgium. Lastly, one blues, was devoid of paintings ; but in the room
of the best pupils of the master-graver A. Danse, beyond, framed by the doorway, emerged a delicious
the etcher Duriau, collected a large ensemble of bit of colour—the portrait of a young girl by
works, comprising portraits drawn with care and Gustav Klimt. The fifth room, however, provided
Italian scenes selected with discernment, proving the greatest attraction of the exhibition; for this
the talent and sincerity of
this meritorious artist.

second exhibi-
tion of the
Secession at
Rome, opened by the King
in person on March 21,
more than maintained the
standard of the inaugural
display of last year. It was
rather cleverly arranged in
a "crescendo' of modernity.
In the first room one found
some excellent work by such
world-known Roman
painters as Mancini (The
Sewing-Girt) and Onorato
Carlandi (two fine studies
of the Campagna). Paolo
Ferretti in the same room
treated the Campagna with "marcora (alto cadore) by c. t. de i.uca
