“ THE END OF THE ROAD ”
BY HARRY B. LACHMAN
M. Louis Beloul, and M. Yignal. Amongst the
work of especial interest no one could ignore the
personal charm, as well as the technical accomplish-
ment, of Mme. Amard Oberteuffer’s Fruit and
Flowers, and the Notre Dame; and Les Tuileries :
Vhiver by George Oberteuffer. Then there were a
number of delightful landscapes and village scenes
by Harry B. Lachman, of whom more anon, and
other outstanding exhibits which attracted me
were Mile. Violet Mege’s Mauresques an Cimetiere,
Boleslas Buyko’s Vers la Vietoire, Mile. Olga de
Boznanska’s Portrait, G. Temple Olmstead’s Le
Boulevard, the woodblock prints by Harry de
Maine, Mile. Cormier’s Etude de deurs, Fabius
Lorensky’s reminiscent La Vanite, a fascinating
little head by the sculptor, George Conlon, decora-
tive works in silver by Mile. Edith Boddington
and Mile. S. Lilian Blaisdell, and some architectural
studies by H. Bartle Cox.
Though artists of many nationalities are still to
be met with when one moves about in the Quarter,
the cosmopolitanism of the art world of Paris is
naturally far from being so much in evidence as in
pre-war days. The American colony, which of late
years has become increasingly numerous, has been
depleted very considerably, and several of its well-
known representatives have left for home across
the Atlantic.
Amongst those still remaining in Paris there are
few more versatile than Harry B. Lachman. His
little studio in the Rue Campagne-premiere is a
veritable hive of art and industry, the varied results
of which are to be seen in profusion there. Born
in La Salle, Illinois, where art was esteemed
principally as an aid to commercial enterprise, his
early aspirations found few congenial influences.
Paris was a long way off, and the road thither lay
through lithographic designs and popular and
sentimental illustrations. Given an ideal, however,
and a determination to pursue it, I doubt if this is
altogether a bad school to pass through; the
demands of design, no matter how ordinary, more
