At Cadenasso's studio on the brow
Of Russian HIN are to be seen four new

favorite subject-the poetical. mysteri-
Gus, eucalyptus tree. Cadenasso claims
to be the first painter TO discover and
render on canvas the beauty of the
eucalyptus on the Pacific coast, and it
is asserted that in so doing he has
struck a new note in landscape paint
ing. Originality and poetic feeling are
the ends for which this painter strives,

Of trees which he has painted in the
largest Of these new pictures with his
usual delicate interpretative power one
can not deny that they are rendered
with real feeling and insight into
their moods.
Cadenasso is distinctly a painter of
the fat lands. and his work represent
ing a scene near Lake Also, an evening
subject where the last rays of light
are Just passing, is full of the ex-
ouisite beauty tinged BY the faint mel
ancholy which all such scenes possess.
His "Moonrise on the Marsh" also a
eucalyptus presentation, shows excel
lent tone values and gradations, and
a third work, picturing eeucalypti so
pale as TO be barely Visible, depicts
the trees as seen through veil Of fog.
Cadenasso said that he had work
which had been sold to two private

as a paintabIe subject had found much
favor there.

Regarding the recent exhibition of
German works of art in New York held
through the efforts of Hugo Raisinger
a New York patron who has done much
TO forward the interests of art both
in this country and in Germany the
Herald says:
In recognition OF Mr. Reising@rs
disinterested services in organizing the
German exhibition the Metropolitan
Musuem of Art. where it was held
elected ReisingeF an honorary fellow
for life. The German emperor has con-
ferred upon him the comma nder's cross
of the crown. and Prince Luitpold of
Bavaria the commanders cross OF the
Holy Michael.
Ny deliberate and certain conclu-
sion. said Mr.. Reisinger, speaking Of
the exhibition is that it is absolutely
