REDMOND, FRIEDA VOELTER. Medal at the Columbian Exhibition, Chicago.  Member of the Woman’s Art Club.  Born in Thun, Switzerland.  Studies made in Switzerland and in Paris.  A painter of flowers and still-life.

“Mrs. Redmond is a Swiss woman, now residing in New York.  She has exhibited her works in the Paris Salon, in the National Academy of Design, at the Society of American Artists’ exhibitions, etc., and was awarded a medal at the World’s Fair in Chicago.  Her work is not only skilful and accurate in description and characterization; it is done with breadth and freedom, and given a quality of fine decorative distinction.  Her subjects are roses, cyclamen, chrysanthemums, nasturtiums, double larkspurs, cinneraria, etc., and she makes each panel a distinct study in design, with a background and accessories of appropriate character.  For example, the three or four large panels of roses painted at Mentone have a glimpse of the Mediterranean for background, and a suggestion of trellis-work for the support of the vine or bush; and in another rose panel we have a tipped-over Gibraltar basket with its luscious contents strewed about in artful confusion.  The double larkspurs make very charming panels for decorative purposes.  They are painted with delightful fulness of color and engaging looseness and crispness of touch.”—­Boston Transcript.

REGIS, EMMA. This Roman painter has given special attention to figures, and has executed a number of portraits, one of the best of which is that of the Marchioness Durazzo Pallavicini.  She has exhibited some delightful work at Turin and at Rome, such as “The Lute-Player,” “All is not Gold that Glitters,” “Humanity,” and “In illo Tempore?”
