William Jurian Kaula diary

30 JAN 1898

The concour (concours) for prizes at Julian's today was the worst exhibition of work that I have yet seen at that school.  Surely this has been an off year for the Julian Academy.  You have only to look at the prize works and compare them with the examples of other times on the walls.  The best works are hung every month when there is a concour [sic].  There are no stars at Julian's this summer, not even in drawing from life which is usually very strong.  The paintings from the nude were dirty and black in color and most of them look more like the post-mortem appearance of flesh rather than paintings from a living model.  I have not missed much or made a mistake by not going to Julian's school this winter.
