the office and work deputed to angels. The
whole scheine when fmished will be one of the
largest wall paintings in England.
Apart from his designs for decoration, Mr.
Frampton has done much interesting work both
as a landscape and figure painter. We take this
opportunity of reproducing one of his pictures,
entitled Emily: The Kentish Tale. At the
termination of his studentship Mr. Frampton made
much study of the great wall paintings of the
Continent. 1t is interesting to note that as a boy
he was a Contemporary with Aubrey Beardsley at
the Brighton Grammar School.
The Committee of the International Society are
greatly to be congratulated upon their choice of
M. Rodin to carry out the proposed Whistler
Memorial for Chelsea. We believe that they will
to a large extent be guided by the distinguished
Sculptor in deciding the character which the
memorial shall take. Should it take the form of
a Statue, there need be no fear of the unique
individuality which will be remembered as that of
the late Mr. Whistler’s not meeting with sympa-
thetic and distinguished interpretation from the
sculptor of Balzac.
Mr. A. Ludovici’s art grafts the serious manage-
ment of tone, the inspired search for colour, which
it was Whistler’s concern to teach, on to a lighter,
gayer stem—that of his own artistic individuality.
He has a taste for that particular kind of beauty
which is to be met in the life of the highways of
London, in the park during the season, and at the
race-course. The picturesqueness which women
carry into that life, with their subconscious instinct
towards beauty, does not escape him, and the
painted carriages, the restless horses, their move-
ment and glitter, form the inspiration of many of
his pictures. His art has other sides; there are
other problems with which he has wrestled, but the
reproductions which we give were selected from a
recent exhibition of the painter’s work, mostly
devoted to studies of this side of life. Mr.
Ludovici has always adhered strictly to the
principle that the artist makes his subject, and he
has proved that London lends itself, by its
mysterious tones of grey and its subtle skies, to
all kinds of colour combinations. In whatever
