HINMAN, LEANA MCLENNAN.

[No reply to circular.]

HITZ, DORA. Born at Altdorf, near Nuremberg, 1856.  During eight years she worked under the direction of Lindenschmit, 1870-1878.  She was then invited to Bucharest by the Queen of Roumania, “Carmen Sylva.”  Here the artist illustrated the Queen’s poem, “Ada,” with a series of water-color sketches, and painted two landscapes from Roumanian scenery.  Between 1883 and 1886 she made sketches for the mural decoration of the music-room at the castle of Sinoia.  Later, in Brittany and Normandy, she made illustrations for the fisher-romances of Pierre Loti.  At Berlin, in 1891-1892, she painted portraits, and then retired to Charlottenburg.  Her exhibition of two beautiful pictures in gouache, at Dresden, in 1892, brought her into notice, and her grasp of her subjects and her method of execution were much commended.

Fraeulein Hitz could not stem the “classic” art creed of Berlin, where the “new idealism” is spurned.  She ventured to exhibit some portraits and studies there in 1894, and was most unfavorably criticised.  At Munich, however, in 1895, her exhibition was much admired at the “Secession.”  Again, in 1898, she exhibited, in Berlin, at the Union of Eleven, a portrait of a young girl, which was received with no more favor than was shown her previous works.  In the same year, at the “Livre Esthetique,” in Brussels, her pictures were thought to combine a charming grace with a sure sense of light effects, in which the predominating tone was a deep silver gray.  A portrait by this artist was exhibited at a Paris Salon in 1895.

HOFFMANN, FELICITAS. Born in Venice, she died in Dresden, 1760.  Pupil of Rosalba Camera.  There are four pictures in the Dresden Gallery attributed to her—­“St. George,” after Correggio; “Diana with an Italian Greyhound,” after Camera; “Winter,” a half-length figure by herself; and her own portrait.  Her principal works were religious subjects and portraits.

HOFFMANN-TEDESCO, GIULIA. Prize at the Beatrice Exposition, Naples.  Born at Wurzburg, 1850.  This artist has lived in Italy and made her artistic success there, her works having been seen in many exhibitions.  Her prize picture at Naples was called “A Mother’s Joy.”  In 1877 she exhibited in the same city “Sappho” and “A Mother,” which were much admired; at Turin, 1880, “On the Water” and “The Dance” were seen; at Milan, 1881, she exhibited “Timon of Athens” and a “Sunset”; at Rome, 1883, “A Gipsy Girl” and “Flowers.”  Her flower pictures are excellent; they are represented with truth, spirit, and grace.

HOGARTH, MARY. Exhibits regularly at the New English Art Club, and occasionally at the New Gallery.  Born at Barton-on-Humber, Lincolnshire.  Pupil of the Slade School under Prof.  Fred Brown and P. Wilson Steer.

Miss Hogarth’s contribution to the exhibition of the New English Art Club, 1902, was called “The Green Shutters,” a very peculiar title for what was, in fact, a picture of the Ponte Vecchio and its surroundings, in Florence.  It was interesting.  It was scarcely a painting; a tinted sketch would be a better name for it.  It was an actual portrait of the scene, and skilfully done.
