VIENNA
EMBROIDERED JACKET
BY TILLY KLOPFER
VIENNA.—The purposes to which em-
broidery is now put for the adornment
of woman's person has brought about
much invention in design following closely
the laws of decorative ornament, giving it
a higher value and significance, though it
but follow the demand of fashion, or by
its beauty creates that demand. The
jacket here reproduced has evolved out of
the fertile imagination of Tilly Klopfer,
a young Viennese, who has both designed
and worked herself many fascinating
pieces of work destined for the beautifying
of the gentler sex, as also for the sterner
one. This has already won much recog-
nition. Her atelier is now well known,
though it was only opened a short time
ago. The embroidery is worked on butter
muslin. Paris calls the piece of work
under consideration " jacquette de bure,"
for there, too, it has found much favour.
The flowers are done in gay colours, like
that of Chaucer's squire, " embroidered all
over as if it were a mead," finished off
with a border of fur. The work shows a
deep feeling for art ; equally fine is the
322
technical expression of her thought; the
beauty of colouring reveals a sensitive
nature, while here, as in all her efforts,
Tilly Klopfer makes manifest that in her
artlessness she proves herself the true
artist. A. S. L.
Arthur Paunzen not only is a highly
gifted but also an unusually versatile
artist, both in his choice of subjects, and
in the selection of his medium. Some-
times he favours oil, at others again he
gives the preference to lithography or
etching. His portrait of Gustav Mahler,
the famous writer, is an excellent example
of his work with the needle, possessed of
marked personal handling, of great plastic
strength and, one instinctively feels, of
intimate likeness. 0 a a a
From a series of etchings inspired by
Beethoven's symphony to an admirably
studied print of a rabbit is a long cry, as
also there is from a set of Eastern scenes,
to which Mahler's poems have furnished
the keynote, to a very sombre but powerful
portrait of Nietschke or a number of
striking studies of the nude. G. B.
