Sender: Abels, Ludwig (1867 - 1937)

Review of Vienna Künstlerhaus exhibition, Spring 1904. De László's "ingenious sketches" praised, comparison to Lenbach. Mentions portraits of Alice Barbi [2340]; the Hereditary Princess of Meiningen [5101]; Princess Pauline Metternich [110466]; Princess of Liechtenstein [7476]; Herr Miller zu Aichholz [11391], and a "simple portrait" of the artist’s mother.
Letters Miscellaneous 0000 Press, 090-0172

Review of Künstlerhaus (Vienna), Spring exhibition 1904. Whilst the critic praises de László's swift first sketches, which are "full of spirit and confidence", his more highly finished work is "cooler, stiffer and duller"; his art has lost its way as he has become more fashionable. Mentions portraits of Alice Barbi [2340]; Princess Metternich [110466], and Hereditary Princess of Meiningen [5101].
Letters Miscellaneous 0000 Press, 090-0178

Review of Künstlerhaus (Vienna), Spring Exhibition 1904. The critic notes that de László's work can sometimes appear careless. While his fully realised paintings are not entirely satisfying, his more deliberately sketchy pieces—such as the portraits of Alice Barbi [2340], the Hereditary Princess of Meiningen [5101], and Princess Metternich [110466]—are deemed more successful.
