Armand Rassenfosse is a resident of Liege, therefore, presumably, a
Belgian and a subject of the German Empire. But as stone walls do not
always a prison make, so frontiers do not always mark the nationality
of art and letters. Mr. Rassenfosse is distinctly French in his
feeling and artistic point of view. Perhaps I should rather say
Parisian, for it is of the Latin Quartier and the Beaux Arts that his
work breathes. His designs are almost entirely of nude femininity and
his method of expression the etching. He has made some eight or ten
charming bits, full of life and chic--I was going to say, frou-frou,
but that would be a misnomer, for his models are innocent of gowns or
lingerie. Their spirit and beauty of execution is high, but as
book-plate designs--well, it's a bit like champagne for breakfast.
