STUDIO-TALK

PITTSBURGH, U.S.A.—In this year's
International Exhibition at the Car-
negie Institute, out of 633 pictures sent in
385 were hung, and of these 182 were by
artists belonging to various European
countries. The three medals, each carrying

Ernest Lawson for his Vanishing Mist, the
second to Mr. Howard Giles (Young

and Mr. Sydney Lee, both of London,
were awarded Honourable Mentions, as
was Mr. Ross Moffett, an American. 0

The entrance halls were devoted to
examples of sculpture by two well-known
Americans — the late Augustus Saint
Gaudens, whose heroic bronze portrait of
Abraham Lincoln and medallion portrait of
Robert Louis Stevenson were the most
notable objects in the group, and Mr.
James Earle Fraser, whose ability was
creditably shown by a bronze relief and
marble bust. 00000

The honour of the"one man exhibition"
was given to the French painter Henri Le
Sidaner, whose group, hung in a specially
reserved gallery, included twenty-five can-
vases delightfully vibrant in broken colour.
Notable contributions from other French
artists were a full length portrait of Lucien
Simon, by M. Charles Cottet; a delicious
