THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY

“ A WINE TASTER OF LA
MANCHA.” PEN DRAWING
BY EDMUND J. SULLIVAN

THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY
OF SCULPTORS, PAINTERS AND
GRAVERS. ac)000

A QUARTER of a century has elapsed
since this society was founded, with
James McNeill Whistler as its first presi-
dent, and twenty-four years since the in-
augural exhibition—or “ Art Congress/' as
he decreed that it should be called—was
held. How predominantly international
this exhibition was anyone can see who
refers to an account of it which Mr. Sauter
wrote for The Studio at the time (July,
1898). Among distinguished foreigners
who contributed were Manet, Monet,
Degas, Puvis de Chavannes, Besnard,
Blanche, Toulouse-Lautrec, Rodin the
second president, and Forain, from France;
Segantini from Italy ; Matthew Maris, the
Anglo-Dutchman ; Uhde, Stuck, Thoma,
Liebermann, Keller, and Klinger, from
Germany or Austria; and Zorn and
Thaulow representing Scandinavia. The
Anglo-Saxon contingent was relatively

for the internal walls. The concrete
blocks are all made by a plant on the site.
An attempt to group the blocks of cottages
has been made by setting the centre
block back from the general building line
and connecting it by a covered way to
the wing blocks. Qwing to the centre
cottages being of greater span, the roof
is considerably higher than those at each
side, thus giving a distinctive feature
to this block. 00000

Mr. Goodhart-Rendel's drawing of a
house in Norway, reproduced on page 321,
is one of a comparatively small number of
designs for domestic architecture in this
year's Royal Academy. The house has
been designed by him for accommodating
a party of fishermen, and therefore pro-
vides a number of small bedrooms with one
very large sitting room and a dining room.
Woodboarding painted white for the walls,
with shutters painted a bright green-blue,
and a red tiled roof are the chief external
features. The house will be provided with
a complete system of heating by hot water.
