International studio . (Copyrighl, Traul, Munich). GAUZE EMBROIDERY (). DESIGNED KY ERNST AU FSEKSER : WORKED BY KATHLEEN AUFSEESEK yields him the highest satis-faction to deal with thehuman figure and it isastonishing how much good-humour, esprit de ballade,and fairy-tale charm he canexpress in simplified andconcise form. A poeticalbent attracts him to theheroes and heroines of thelegend and the popular loves mediaeval andrococo costumes, and knowshow to adapt them with asort of wood-cut element of comicalityis seen in expressive profilesand in an occasional archaismof pose and gesture. Thrifti-ness in detail makes themovement of each hair-ribbon, each leaf-point andskirt-end important. Greatstress is laid on the variationof textile pattern, and theclever use of stripes andplaits of all sorts enrichesthe design. It is wonderfulhow the nimble fingers ofthe needlewoman manage toachieve such artistic effects resident of Berlin, to compose by thehelp of his sketch-books or from mereimagination. The Gauze
