International
Exhibition of Colonial
Art in Rome
Mussolini opened the Exhibition for Colo-
nial Art with great ceremonies and with the
support of many international visitors. The
event as a whole has more political fhan arfi-
stical significafion. There is hardly native art,
but the art of the white man in the colonies.
The names of Delacroix and Gauguin, will in-
dicate the idea which their esamples sugge-
sfed.
The political idea in ihis exhibition is the
idea of the Roman Empire which annected
the conguered provinces to the point of im-
posing to them entirely its culfure. France
has well caught the historical idea of the
show and has sent Delacroix and Gauguin,
to which Italy joined another show indicating
the way on which the colonial idea has pro-
gressed.
Italy, France, Belgium and Danmark have
brought altogether 470 works and they suc-
ceed in giving a notion of the art of exotism.
They are Products of the white man’s menta-
lity, civilisafion and creating force meeting
with the vital power of his exotic surroun-
dings. The Arabian world found a great num-
ber of Interpreters among the Italians and
the French, who fhemselves are in a way
related to them, being also Meditterranean
races. The intuitive comprehension becomes
more difficult with the Negroes; works of
L’Oliviers for instance, remain only decora-
tive and superficial after all, Melis cannot
either get over a certain statuaryness in his
figures who remain always strangers with a
mysiery about them.
Besides fhe paintings and the interesting
Belgian Congo collection the exhibition con-
tains a show of the colonial book, not an
unimportant contribution.. The lively partici-
pation of France helped considerably to make
the whole thing a success. A new experiment
of a subject for an exhibition can be accep-
fed or discussed, the Capital thing is partici-
pation.
Large contributions from France and Italy
gave to guite unknown parts in the domain
of majolicas a chance to become appreciated.

which according fo their style can be divided
into a wesfern group (between Cyranaica, Tu-
nesia and East-Marocco) and an Eastern
group which has disfinef Berbero-Mooresgue
influences. Geometrical forms are in favour
with both the groups, colours and Ornaments
show the difference: the eastern group pre-
fers dreamy shades of green and soft lines,
the Western group blue Ornaments on white
ground and sharp clear lines.
From Rhodos Italy has brought a beautiful
collection of faience plates, which ioo are
plainly marked by two influences: ihe Persian-
Armenian and the Byzantine - Christian in-
fluences. A certain rustic primitivity increases
the fascinafion of these ceramics Corning
from that far corner of the Mediterranean Sea.
The Residential Treasury
in Munich
The Residential Treasury in Munich was
founded by Duke Albrecht Vth in 1565. It
has been kept by his family; many pieces
of that superbe collection of enamel and
goldsmith’s works got lost or were given
away; ofhers were added. It contains among
others the famous so-called Bohemian
crown and a precious golden bowl out of the
propriety of King Sigismund Illrd. Th,is short
nofe does not allow to give a more precise
enumeration of the wonderful things gathered
now again by the late Fr. H. Hoffmann, whose
troubles deserve fo be duely acknowledged.
Shorter Notes
from Dutch Museums
The Museum Boymans in Rotterdam has
recently aeguired some interesting objects;
for instance: Pieter Saenredam, „the Inferior
of St. John’s Church in Utrecht“ (reproduced
in our Nr. 41 issue), a flagellants’ scene by
Terborgh from the arfist’s Span.ish period, a
landscape by Seghers, a view of Schevenin-
gen by Buytewech, a dead Christ by van
Dyck. The modern division was enlarged
among others by Jongkind’s La Ciotat (repro-
duced in our Nr. 41 issue), a chalk design
by Puvis de Chavannes, prints by Sinteniis,
Fiori, Vlaminck, Bieling, Toorop; a terra cotta
figure by Ernest de Fiori, a wood figure by
Torna Rosandie were among the gifts kindly
made to the Museum. The New Museum in
Rotterdam and fhe Museum at the Hague are
being enlarged by new buildings.
Art in Budapest
Five rooms of Ihe Art Museum in Buda-
pest have been consecrated to new aegui-
siiions of ihe last years. There are mainly
paintings, not a greal number, but very good
ones. Mr. Alexius Petrovics worked syste-
matically and diligently for fhe enlargement
of fhe collecfions. He was helped by gifts
kindly made to his associafion of Friends of
Ihe Museum.
Among fhe paintings of old masters Palma
Vecchio’s Madonna ought fo be noted first
(reproduced in Nr. 43 issue). To the group
of the German School was added “the
Erection of the Cross“ by the elder Jörg
Breu, dafed 1524. For ihe Spanish
group, a signed and daled work
by Luys Tristan, “Adoraiion of
ihe Kings“ was newly aeguired.
The collection of old Hungarian
Masters, which Mr. Petrovics
cares especially for, was enlarged
by Iwo altar wings by a Hunga-
rian Master about 1500, a pre-
sent from the laie Friedrich Glück,
art colleclor in Budapest. Un-
fortunately Hungarian art has
been valuated only recently, and
a greal pari of it is still existing
dispersed beyond fhe Hungarian
frontiers. Ausfrian painters, who
have been under a strong Hun-
garian influence are therefore as
well coniained in ihe collection:
a sludy by Maulberfsch, a picture
by Kremser-Schmidt, a study by
Dorfmeister for an altar painfing
in Sopron. Younger Hungarian
painters as Muncäcsy are egually
represented. There are a few
sculptures only: for instance, a
holy Catherine out of a Gothic
church in Podolin.
The Museum for Applied Art,
which: also exhibited its newer
aeguisitions, was egually enlarged
by gifts out of private collections,
containing beautiful textile fabrics.
The ceramics show interesting
pieces, very significative for the
developmenf of Hungarian pot-
tery.
The Summer Exhibition in the
Museum for Applied Art showed
old applied art of Transylvania.
All public collecfions and museums
had a pari (herein, also the Mu-
seum Cluny. The exhibition gave
excellent outlines of Ihe varied
riches of handicraft in Transyl-
vania. Due io its own spiritual
force a Transylvanian art was created on the
basis of the folk’s art of the Seclers with the
numerous influences which had passed the
country. The mixture of Northern (Saxonian)
and oriental (Turkish) taste produced a fasci-
nating result.
Goldsmith’s works are the most numerous
and the most varied and interesting ones; they
exisf in all sihapes, for all sorts of purposes.
Medieval French and Ifalian influences are
followed by pronouncedly German ones.
Texfile fabrics, as important in Transyl-
vanian art as the Goldsmith’s works are
represented by the complefe collection Wolf-
sohn containing beautiful clofhs, dresses, em-
broider-ies, silver and gold laces.
Old furniture is still mainly in private pro-
priety and only a few are on view. Coins,
phofographs of Transylvanian buildings and
reproductions of old wall paintings close the
exhibition.
