BUDAPEST—BUENOS AIRES
"SAN MARCOS, LEON, SPAIN." PEN-
CIL DRAWING BY ROBERTO HOSMANN
choly fill these pages. An artist of a quite
new calibre develops before the eyes of his
friends. In the international exhibition
of water-colour at Milan this gaudy and
French airiness is the striking feature of
his exhibited works, while in the last ex-
hibition of the Rome Biennial the
pages of his peculiarly modernised litur-
gical books called for attention. His exhi-
bition to be opened presently in Paris will
show the whole development of this
graphic artist, encompassing all—from
commercial cards, labels, to the handsome
editions of the sacred year—that he has
drawn on paper or bound in leather. 0
Vegh is a pious servant of art, who,
like the musicians of old, plays the
organ by day and composes frolicsome
songs at night. But he is noble in both
kinds. 000000

BUENOS AIRES.—Those of the
younger school of Argentine artists
who devote themselves to pure line draw-
330
ing are almost perforce driven abroad in
search of subjects; a fact sufficiently
explanatory of the predilection shown by
Senor Roberto Hosmann for the rich
architectural fields of Italy and Spain.
A recent exhibition of sketches made
during the autumn of 1924 came as a
decided surprise to the local art world,
Senior Hosmann, an Argentine of two
generations, being more widely known in
commercial than in artistic circles. That
this is unlikely to be the case henceforward
the quality of the drawings here repro-
duced sufficiently explains, his work being
marked by a decision and purity of execu-
tion that renders it anything but the
performance of a dilettante ; indeed, many
of the drawings were marked by just that
quality of truthful exactitude tempered
by the ability of the draughtsman to seize
the perfect view-point which one associates
with Samuel Prout. They are, more-
over, an interesting commentary on the
progress of the art movement in Argentina
at the present day. H. H. H.
