Studio: international art (82.1921)

STUDIO-TALK

He has said himself of this earlier English
period, and of his study of the older masters
of water-colour art, " I went from Turner
to Constable, and from these last to David
Cox and all the others with the absorbed
interest of a discovery. But one, above
all, remained in my mind, Peter de
Wint. . . . For me it is a happiness
to be able to recall to the English that I
am his most faithful scholar and his most
ardent admirer." In his study of this
great master, however, a new and in-
spiring thought came to him from the
same source. " L'artiste doit travailler
dans le pays ou il est ne, ou il a recu ses
premieres impressions." The truth of
this dictum of Alfred Stevens' so impressed
him that he returned to Rome, became

one of the founders of the Society " In
Arte Libertas," and later, with Henry
Coleman, helped to create the little group
of the " Venticinque della Campagna
Romana," which still goes forth every
Sunday to study and enjoy the wonderful
Campagna. S. B.

COPENHAGEN—Jens Lund does not
follow the beaten track, the crowded
highway, along which so many of his
brethren in the arts apparently often
choose to wander. He prefers the lure
of strange untrodden paths, leading to
heights where a world of mystic beauty
unfolds itself to the inner vision of the
lonely pilgrim and where harmonies of
subtle music fall upon his ear. Lund
