Hans Schuler  Schulers a piece of work He certainly chalked up a lot of minuments so putting him in the monuments section would certainly be defensible On the other hand the sort of piece that won him the Paris Salon prize and fetches high prices at auction to this day is probably more like this one  which just sold at Christies in London for over twelve thousand dollars The most important Schuler piece in the Walters Art Museum is of this sort  an extremely sensual forlorn decidedly unmonumental and almost embarrassinbly lifelike Ariadne writhing in an agony of sexual abandonment Very decadent very findesicle and apparently very appealing to the presentday avoirdelargent Please do advise
