place in this hall. In a room apart, a large
number of smaller works by the same
sculptor were shown, executed in bronze,
plaster, or marble. Two cf these, Icarus
and a Scherzo are also illustrated. These
are of high artistic value both in conception
and in fulfilment. Other sculptors whose
work calls for mention are Josef Kassin,
Karl Fiala, Josef Heu, Karl Wollak, Hans
Mueller and Franz Zelezny, these two last
exhibiting works in wood and ivory
respectively. Rudolf Schmidt exhibited
a varied and interesting series of plaquettes,
two of which are here reproduced. 0

exhibiting at the Kiinstlerhaus mention
should be made of the portraitists John
Quincey Adams ; also Hugo Krisch, who
showed a beautifully modelled ceramic
study of a nude figure, and Victor Scharf
and the veteran Heinrich Angeli; and the
landscape painters, Thomas Leitner,
Ferdinand Brunner, Hugo Darnaut, and
Rudolf Glotz. Josef Jost distinguished
himself as a painter of still life, his speciality
being vegetables. Among the graphic
artists Stephan Eggeler deserves a foremost
place for his etchings illustrative of Arthur
Schnitzler's Veil of Pierette. A. S. L.
