If he is unaware of this fact, he knows less about the matter than the late Mr. Charles Reade, whose knowledge Dr. Phipson thinks fit to disparage. I have made and applied both oil and spirit varnishes to violins, and shall be pleased to show the results to Dr. Phipson if he will pay me a visit. Very truly yours, May 9th, To the Editor of The Strad. Dear Sir, — Dr. Phipson's description of the celebrated Cremona varnish is very interesting to lovers of Cremona violins.
I wonder could Dr. Phipson give a reason why Stradivari wrote a letter apologising for the delay in repairing a violin which was given to him for repairs. The excuse he gave for the delay was that the varnish did not dry quickly enough. If it were a spirit varnish he used there would be no occasion for an apology. Phipscm's version, that the Cremona makers did nae an mi varnish as a substratum, and the top varnish was a beantifolly coloured spirit varnish.
CsiUag was first instructor of the violin to Mr. I should be greatly obliged if you would kindly insert this in your esteemed paper. Yours truly, Sharrow, Sheffield. But as Henry Ward Beecher is a reverend gentleman he shonld be no bad judge of preachers or sermons. Now for myself I have heard " Home, Sweet Home " rendered on a violin by far more effectively than any pneacher can preach it.

A fine work indeed, and one that will soon find its way to the concert room. All the six movements are written with a freshness that is sure to charm all players 8. The small difficulties that present themselves are such that can soon be overcome by the young student.
The piano accompaniments are most interesting 4. We have just received while going to press the announcement of the sudden death of the famous violinist, Kduard Rememyi, whilst at a concert at San Francisco. A more detailed notice of this eminent musician will no doubt be acceptable to our readers, and some interesting notes concerning him and his career will appear in our next issue. Leon, who was a ijfreater violinist than he was a dancer, the Dancing Frog was a much better mimic and dancer than he was a violinist.
I have lately received a letter from an old friend in Paris who has occupied the position of first violin at the Opera for, I dare not say, how many years — he is on the retired list now — the very mention of dates would make us feel very much older than we really are. The earth turns quicker on its axis than it used to in former times, as Euler, the great German philo- sopher, once pointed out f- the earth is gradually getting nearer to the sun, he said, hence its rotation must be more and more accelerated as time rolls on.
The days and nights are shorter, the months and years are shorter, and life is quicker, to make up for it all. Lipinski, De Beriot, Lafont, and even Paganini himself, when I thought of the queer figure they would have cut in the music of the ballet. It was Baillot who was grand in such music — the real music of the violin — he was my great master, the man I looked up to. But Cherubini would have him, when he could not get his beloved friend Viotti. Well, mj dear Pfaipson, he is dead I We all mourn his loss intensely, and it makes me think of those happy days when I,.
He onca gave me a fine old Amati violin. And to whom do you think he has left his fortune? To Marie Taglioni Desvoisins the granddaughter of our divine Marie Taglioni that tail, fair girl with large blue eyes that has ngurod here, in the ballet, since I retired. But the lad would not become a naturalized Englishman, and so, in time, he was drawn into the French army.
He was at Metz, in the army of Marshall Bazaine. On his death bed, he confided to his mother that he had left a young infant in Paris, a few months old, whose mother was dying of consumption. Taglioni took this orphan grandchild in hand ; she educated her with great care as a dancer ; for she knew she would have little fortune to leave her. Perrot owed everything to Taglioni, and when he came out as the Dancing Frog, established his repu- tation and the basis of his fortune.
Being a prudent man, who had seen great hardships, he amassed money, and took care of it. That money has now fallen to the lot of this grandchUd, to whom the very modest fortune left by the great Taglioni, could not have been a sufficient resource, in remembrance of the kindness he had received from her in the days of her prosperity and his poverty. He was born at Lyons, the son of the chief machinist of the theatre of that city, on the i8th August He was educated as a dancer from childhood, and at a very early age appeared in various ballets at Lyons.
After fulfilling his engagements at the French opera, he accepted others in various parts of Europe ; and at Naples he met the dancer, Carlotta Grisi, who became his pupil, and afterwards his wife. But he owed his first great success to Marie Taglioni. As proof of this, we have only to turn to his twb exquisite compositions: Hbrr David Popper, the celebrated 'cellist, whose portrait was presented with No.

For the United Kingdom, per annum post free as. It is not so very long ago — I believe it was in — that Mdlle. Wietrowet2 made her first appearance in London, playing at the Crystal Palace and the Popular and Phil- harmonic concerts with great success ; since this time the young artist has fully established her claims as one of the foremost artists of the day. It was her father from whom she received her first musical instruc- tion at the early age of five, having been born at Laibach, South Austria.
Joachim, also receiving some instruction from Pro- fessor Wirth. Wietrowetz has been heard at frequent intervals and since then her fame has extended all over Europe and she has made most successful appearances in most of the great continental musical centres, includ- ing Stockholm, Wiesbaden, Munster, Magde- burg, Amsterdam, Bremen, Cologne, Breslau, Frankfurt on Main, Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig, Gotha, etc. She has now attaint to the highest rank in the art of violin playing and her chief aim is evidently to be a true and worthy follower of her great master. She plays with the consummate and masterful ease of an artist who possesses the fullest command over her instrument ; she is an artist and virtuoso in the truest sense of the terms and any one who has heard her playing the concertos of Spohr, Bruch, Brahms, Mendelssohn or Beethoven, will admit that for breadth of tone and artistic finish, she has few, if any to surpass her.
Like her great master Joachim , Mdlle. Wietrowetz is an ardent admirer of classical music, and her great powers as an interpreter of such, both as soloist and quartet leader, are well known. One of the feyourite items of her repertoire is Brahms's Violin Concerto in D ; she was heard in this work at one of the Philharmonic concerts about five years ago and one of. Wietrowetz, and those who, knowing this young artist's power and genius, were prepared for great things were more than satisfied, not so much by the technical skill, which is undoubtedly great, as by the broad conception of the masterly work, the great underlying strength making itself continually felt, ahd the reverent delivery of the Concerto, from the somewhat heavy opening movement with its remarkable and difficult cadenza by Dr.
Joachim, through the tender Adagio, perhaps the most perfectly given of the three, to the energetic finale, which was played with a breadth and dignity which we have never heard excelled. An intrepid attack, a brilliant shake, great volume of tone, and unerring precision and skill, are amongst the least of Frl. Wietrowetz's gifts ; her greater ones are the sweet tenderness, the sympathy, the humanity in her playing, which appeals to the soul of the listener. It is often amusing to hear some people talk as they take up a violin that bears the resemblance of age, and remark, " How old it looks!
I was talking with an amateur violin-maker the other day, when he remarked, that he finished a violin not long ago, and it was purchased by a maker of violins for an old one. The purchaser said it was an excellent old instrument, and offered a price for it, which was taken and considered proper, as no repre- sentations were made about it. To give an idea of this matter I copy a letter written to a connoisseur, which will throw light on the methods employed in Italy: You can not with brushes and iron tools imitate the wear of hands and movements, but the use of the hands and chin and the rubbing of locomo- tion can be intensified in their own manner.
To begin, when you varnish leave a conic patch below where the neck comes, lighter in colour than the rest. This is because the masters used a long false finger board to protect the fitted neck, and under it the belly was protected from the brash. This can not be done naturally with a file. This will wear the centre of the back, and back of the scroll in a quite natural way, you may also slide it up and down against a wall, with a string on a loop on the wall, but the string often wears first and the violin falls. This must go on until the proper flatness of the scroll, and the proper back- paten and clippings out are made.
This most be still more amplified in tbe eastern C to show how careless bows have wounded the poor violin. When it Ia3rs white on the belly, warm it before a fire nntil it sticks. But this would be dishonest deception. Each time fill the fiddle Mth greasy wheat rolled in fine dust, and when quite dry. Then a patch has been removed and the violin not tampered with. No doubt there is considerable food for reflection in the above, but possibly no one sells new old violins. Evidence was given to show that on Good Friday last the premises of Messrs. Tbe matter was placed in the hands of Detective-sergeants Tupper aad Scholes.
About a week after the robbery it was ascertained that the stolen instruments were being ofiered for sale in Stuttgart, Germany, and an extra- dition warrant was applied for. John Beare H-eat to Germany, where he fotmd the accused in cnstodv, and identified nine violins which had been found in his possession on arrest, as part of the stolen property.
On July 17th the prisoner arrived in London in the custody of a German officer. He was committed ifor trial at the next , which will be held on August 3rd.

If yon are expert with the brush, it might be possible to put the matter right with a little varnish coloured to match. We have seen instruments so strung with five strings. From a practical point of view, however, the idea is not very desirable, as besides the unavoidable deterioration in the qualitv and body of tone peculiar to the viola, it lacks the brilliancy of the vioun. Of course as a make shift instrument under circumstances such as you. On paper the principle of the Stelzner instruments seems good, but we have not tried them, so cannot give an opinion as to their merits, but hope to be able to do so shortly.
Many players and teachers prefer the strings fairly close together. It stands to reason that narrow fingers require them closer than bro ul ones, otherwise they would not be able to finger fifths with one finger. Monsieur Vuillaume having been the owner of the "Bessie " for many years, it is unlikely that he did not make very many copies, the number it is of course not possible to tell. The written particulars seem to point to German possibly Mittenwald make, the tracing of the sonndholes is agreeable with this. Photos being so small render discrimination impossible in the way desirable, at the best it is dangerous to express any opinion from a photo, the difierence between a copy and an original being such as the camera will seldom if ever disclose.
Taking the copy of the ticket to be correct in detail it wbuld not be likely to be genuine as the V ought to be U as in all the genuine tickets. The other particulars mentioned do not help the probability of the violin being genuine. Technical Studies in Single Notes, op. TechnicalStudies in Double Stopping, op.

So I polished as much as I re-polished. However, this least-favorite job led to my most-favorite duty: I loved arranging the china, the now! As I inspected my completed handiwork, I always felt immense pleasure with what I saw as a magnificently set table, which made the silver cleaning bearable.
Or, close to it. Fast forward through dinner, when the last silver fork was put down after the homemade pumpkin and pecan pies were devoured, and my family and guests happily heaved themselves from the table to watch football, the ball was in my court … I was in charge of cleanup.
After recruiting family and friends to help because of favors owed, along with bribery and threats, our group would hand-wash and dry every piece of cherished china and silver. Although I would have never admitted it at the time, I loved being in that small, steamy kitchen laughing, talking, washing and drying. At NOAG, we are so proud to offer such a carefully selected variety of beautiful china and silver, with which to make your own special occasion memories. Our silver specialist, Charles C.
Cage — who, among many notable professional honors, recently served as guest curator of the New Orleans silver gallery during the reinstallation of the permanent collection at the LSU Museum of Art in Baton Rouge — has been with us for 12 years. The craftsmen literally leave their marks on the pieces they make, while the owners proudly engrave their coats-of-arms, names and monograms on them.
And as an adult, I still get that same thrill from creating a beautiful tablescape, set with my silver and china collected through the years. Before each celebratory meal, I inspect the table and think, Mom would be proud. And then I say a little prayer of gratitude for the one who polished the silver!

As his lover, wife and muse, she inspired some of his most prolific work. Through her, Foujita redefined feminine beauty in ivory and bone from the negative space of an ink drawing, born par excellence of Eastern calligraphy. Foujita and Youki were the celebrities of the Parisian art scene in the s. Hailed a shining star, Foujita was more successful than Picasso and more acclaimed than Matisse. Youki, a figurehead in her own right, rivalled Foujita's other famous models - Kiki of Montparnasse and Modigliani's muse Fernande Barrey, whom Foujita took as his second wife days after meeting her in a cafe.
When Foujita met Badoud in , he was smitten by the pallor of her skin - her body he likened to white-capped peaks on sensuous, figural slopes; her visage to porcelain with lacquer black eyes framed by golden hair. Foujita christened her "Youki"- snow in Japanese, a name she legally retained until her death in Through Youki, Foujita perfected the "fond blanc" white ground technique - the crowning earmark of his work. The bravura of the white ground artistry seamlessly blends the aesthetics of the orient and occident while compromising the identity and integrity of neither.
The art of Shodo - of Japanese. In his portraits of Youki, Foujita celebrates Shodo in oil painting; while all forms are delineated through the pen and ink lines and lack three dimensionality, the negative spaces are painted in - matte black Indian ink blots out the background and the white pigment of the middle and foreground are the centerpiece. Made of mixed flaxseed oil, crushed chalk, white lead, and magnesium silicate, Foujita's pigment fascinated viewers with its milky iridescence as it captured both the "snow" of Youki's skin and the translucent luminosity characteristic of fine Asian porcelain and ivory.
Portraits of Youki as a reclining odalisque are rare because they were mostly executed in the early s. Even more rarely are these "fond blanc" masterpieces offered at auction.

Philippe Cazeau, Maximilien Luce Lausanne: La Bibliotheque des Arts, , p.
JBL, Sous le vent, , no. Born into a family of modest means, Luce always had a deep predilection for the working class. After serving in the military for four years, Luce began his artistic career as an engraver, before turning to painting full time in Influenced by the Impressionists, who advocated plein air studies, Luce took multiple day trips to the outskirts of Paris - painting the changing effects of sunlight on the woodlands and fields through the juxtaposition of colors quickly applied in wet overlapping impastos through rapid short brush strokes.
A fine example of this is lot , which was painted on the wooded bank of the Chalouette river in Moulineaux, a commune in Ile-de-France, 70 kilometers southwest of Paris. In these works, Luce elucidates the depth of the shaded foliage through layered blues and greens offset by warm yellows, beiges and pinks created through the mixture of complementary colors.
Though Luce first studied the Impressionists when he began painting, and would later revert back to a tempered Impressionist style that he maintained in various facets throughout his life, some of his most exploratory, political and powerful work was executed in the last decade of the 19th century. In Luce was introduced to the NeoImpressionist group by fellow artist Camille Pissarro, and quickly adopted the Divisionist technique of color application in separate patches or dots, believing it achieved a greater luminosity in color than Impressionism proper.
Few artists at the turn of the century were as versatile in their range of subjects as Luce.
He painted sunlit landscapes and the coast of St. Tropez with the same passion and sensitivity that he did factory and mine workers. In the s, Luce made several trips to the mining industry in Belgium, of which Charleroi was the epicenter. The region, called pays noir black country for its ashen soil, rich in ore, which bore proletarian toil and soiled the faces and air of Charleroi, fascinated Luce - and he celebrated both the natural beauty of the geography and the brutish conditions it produced. A fine example is this landscape of Couillet, an area in the town of Charleroi.
It captures not only the innate splendor of the village, depicted from the verdant banks of the Sambre river with the spire of the 16th-century St. Lawrence church in the distance, but it also portends a more somber reality through the roiling storm clouds raining reflective blues and grays above the town hall. The pendant painting to this work, executed in the same palette and dimensions, depicts Couillet, Charleroi from the other side of town in which the smoke stacks of industry, instead of spires of faith, billow forth from the horizon.
Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, the scene of this painting, is a fortified medieval village in the Department of Lot Midi-Pyrenees in southwestern France that Henri-Jean Martin depicted numerous times. The cliffs of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie have austere facades that rise an imposing feet above the Lot River and are summited by a picturesque village of narrow winding roads, tiered timber buildings with mullion windows and terracotta roofs. Martin, a gifted landscape painter who worked in the postImpressionist style, created a unique blend of pointillism and symbolism in painting these bluffs.
While the palette and small parallel brushstrokes in thick impasto are indebted to Seurat's more scientific approach to the Impressionists' optics and plein-air observations, the scale and unusual assignation of color orange and blue water to better elucidate the texture of the precipice as it is reflected in the river, privilege a personal and emotive approach.
Martin's stunning depiction of the cliffs of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie popularized the destination among Parisian artists, notably Andre Breton, and are a recurrent subject in the artist's work. Martin, a native of Toulouse, spent the majority of his career in southwestern France capturing the rock, cliff and elaborate cave formations for which the Pyrenees region is well-known.
