graphic art, and even Mme. Ostroumova-
Lebedeva has not been able for the present
to reveal in her lithographs the quite in-
dividual style and the great perfection of
her ravishing woodcut views of St. Peters-
burg. As to B. Kustodiev, the versatile
and rich compositions of his portfolio
seem to be transported to the lithographic
stone from his big paintings, and the gifted
artist has not yet found a special graphic
style for this transposition. Equally the
bright and sonorous colours of Kustodiev's
paintings are not adequately translated
in black-and-white, and some of his
monochrome lithographs seem to await
colouring. 00000
My notes will not be complete without
mentioning yet another portfolio, entitled
u India," by Vassili Vataghin, and issued
by the State Publishing Office ("Gosisdat")
at Moscow. Vataghin, a sculptor whose
wooden statuettes have drawn attention to
him, has here fixed the impressions of a
journey to India, made some years ago.
The fourteen lithographs dealing with this
subject are not all of equal value, but in
most the artist has succeeded in seizing, in a
poetical manner, the exotic charm of Indian
landscape, architecture, and life. 0 0

PARIS.—Clement de Swiecinski is a
Polish sculptor resident in Paris who
exhibits at the National and Autumn
Salons. His work shows imaginative gift,
rare among sculptors. Although with no
long career to boast of, he has produced
portrait busts, figures of remarkable com-
position and design such as the Young
Basque Girl and The Bather, statues of
religious inspiration like Our Lady of the
Refugees, The Prophet Jeremiah, etc., and
monumental heads of Oriental types in
bronze. To this unusually catholic output
Swiecinski adds the craft of pottery in
which he has introduced some interesting
innovations equally as to texture, outline,
and ornament. M. C.
The Trustees of the National Gallery of
New South Wales, Sydney, have purchased
for their collection two pictures by Mr.
Fred Leist, R.O.I., which were in the
Royal Academy Exhibition last summer—
Shadows and Between the Lights. 0 a
