"IN MYSTERY THE SOUL ABIDES." BY OLIVER
SHEPPARD, R.H.A.

Emmet, with its pleasant landscape background,
is a good example of his work. Mr. Leech's
brilliant portrait L'Actrice, a delightful sym-
phony in green and silver, is a firm and dashing
piece of brushwork, and his smaller portraits
and still-life study showed a similar mastery of
technique and delicacy of tone. Mr. Keatinge's
work is strong and decorative. He has made a
study of West of Ireland types, and his figures,
painted in flat tones, have a vivid sense of
personality. Amongst the sculpture at this
exhibition the marble statuette by Mr. Oliver
Sheppard, R.H.A., In mystery the soul abides,
is specially noteworthy for its poetic feeling
and happy treatment. E. D.

certain stability which almost excludes artistic
surprises. The painters forming the chief
support of this group keep well up to their
former level on the average, and their variations

of familiar themes^ are always well received,
but on the other hand there is a lack of new
talent whic.;v might,' give a stimulus to the
organization as a whole.

At the last exhibition of the Union, which
was financially successful to an unexpected
degree, the works of K. Yuon, N. Krymoff,
L. Pasternak, and A. Ryloff attracted most
attention. The peculiar style which Nicolai
Krymoff, not without some reminiscences ol
the art of the late Arkhip Kuindji, has elabo-
rated in his treatment of Russian landscape
is becoming more and more associated with
intensity of colour and expression. Some
excellent studies attested the progress of his
