Studio-Talk
To the work of this brilliant young painter of
Verona I have referred in my notes on the last two
Venice exhibitions, and in this third exhibition of the
Secession he held an important place; among the
wood-engravings of “ L’Eroica ” he had five exhibits
and in Sala X a room to himself with twelve panels
and two works in terra-cotta. With the art of
Casorati we thus return to painting, which must
after all be the mainstay of these exhibitions.
The work of Camillo Innocenti, with its marvel-
lous colour-harmonies, of Enrico Lionne, who
exhibited here a portrait of the artist, Aleardo Terzi,
and of Terzi himself with his Symphony in Rose
and 1914, gave a distinctive character to the
exhibition as in previous years; and Paolo Ferretti
this year excelled himself in two charming land-
scapes of autumn. Matilde Festa Piacentini
followed her success of last year by three clever
portraits, and her husband, the architect Marcello
Piacentini, appeared in more than one of the rooms
as designer of the architectural features which
formed a base for their decoration. Onorato
Carlandi and Discovolo were represented by land-
scapes which were characteristic of their art; and
in portraiture of children, Arturo Noci’s delightful
portrait of a little girl, absolutely true to child life,
may be compared with Amelia Besso’s Vanna—
dressed in white against a green background over a
rich Turkey carpet. Among the foreign exhibitors
Ignacio Zuloaga, Degas, and Paul Cezanne were of
importance; and Albert Besnard in his Pompilia
diAprile gave a delightful figure-study of one of the
most beautiful models in Rome. S. B.

outstanding distinction as to attract the attention of
the public at large. On the other hand, however,

bear testimony to their purely artistic aims, as was
