“USURY.” bronze pla-
QUETTE BY J. C. WIENECKE
Legion of Honour, but this and other
attributes of fame which he has obtained
leave him an artist unspoiled. In his
studio at ii, Impasse Ronsin—a quaint
and historically interesting neighbourhood
of the city—he works and dreams in his
own personal sphere of idealistic and
visionary freedom. It is there, too, he
may be found tending an unpretentious
garden plot or in humorous jest with his
amiable American artist neighbour, Charles
Lasar, to whom I owe my introduction
to Marcel-Beronneau as well as lasting
memories of many happy hours spent in
Paris. E. A. Taylor.
It is announced that the great Inter-
national and Universal Exhibition of the
Decorative and Industrial Arts, which was
to have been held next year in Paris, has
been postponed to 1925. Arrangements
for this event have been on foot for a
long time, and in view of its international
character, the question of the admission of
German products began to be warmly
discussed at the very outset. A year or
so ago the director of one of the leading art
periodicals of Paris solicited the views of
prominent Artistes Decorateurs on the
subject, and while the inquiry elicited
some very emphatic protests against
German participation, not a few on the
other hand were for one reason or another
in favour of a more conciliatory policy.
Recent events have, of course, put a
different complexion on this question. 0
To the Salle d'Honneur at the Luxem-
bourg Museum there has recently been
112
added an interesting portrait of that great
benefactor of humanity, Louis Pasteur,
whose birth centenary is being celebrated
this year. It is the work of the eminent
Finnish painter, Albert Edelfelt, and
represents Pasteur in his laboratory in the
Rue d'Ulm. Painted in 1886, it has in
the meantime hung in a prominent
position at the Sorbonne. 000
AMSTERDAM.—Some years ago The
Studio published some reproductions
of medals and plaquettes by Mr. J. C.
Wienecke, who in this branch of art has
earned a well-deserved reputation not only
in Holland, but abroad, and it may there-
fore interest readers of this magazine to
see some further and more recent examples
of his work in the shape of a couple of
medals and two plaquettes of a symbolic
nature. The medals—one of them de-
signed for a Fire Insurance Company at
Haarlem, and the other commemorative
of an exhibition in Java, with motifs
appropriate to the occasion in both cases
—do not call for special comment. Of the
BUREAUCRACY.”- BRONZE PLA-
