Bertram Priestman, here illustrated, was bought
for the Birmingham City Gallery; while the Cor-
poration of Glasgow made a very judicious selec-
pictures.
It has been noticed be-
fore in Tim SiuDio, as a
curious sidelight on ar-
tistic inspiration, that the
Clyde has rarely afforded
subjects to our local
painters, though it is a
river full of character
and artistic possibilities,
modern and unconven-
tional, but splendidly
pictorial. And it is in-
teresting to note that when
a Glasgow painter has the
ability to see the pictorial
qualities of our own great
water-way, and the power
to use them, capable judges
see at once the value of
his achievement. Twice
recently have Glasgow
painters gained honours at
the Salon for Clyde
