Studio- Talk
BOOK-PLATE BY HAROLD NELSON
French’s work grows more delicately fanciful and
suggestive than ever. This exhibition also con-
tained characteristic and interesting work by Mr.
James Pryde, Mr. A. Rackham, Mr. Dacres
Adams, and Miss Fortescue-Brickdale.
Messrs. Frank Brangwyn, A.R.A., A. D.
Peppercorn, Bertram Priestman, and Derwent
Wood exhibited at Mr. A. J. Rowley’s' Gallery,
Notting Hill. The exhibition revealed Mr.
Brangwyn at his best in the decorative side of
his art. Mr. Derwent Wood’s piece of sculp-
ture, called My Son, is certainly a work of great
beauty. Mr. Priestman represented himself by
some transcripts direct from Nature, and the
emotional art of Mr. Peppercorn was here as
impressive as ever. There were some small bronzes
by Mr. R. Wells, which were full of life and in-
tention, and Mr. Liven’s art was, as usual, clever.
The newly formed Society of Modern Portrait
Painters has just opened its first exhibition at the
Royal Institute Galleries. The society’s aim is to
ensure to the work of some of the best of our
younger portrait painters full recognition, by
providing the further facilities so much needed
for exhibiting; and judging by the works sent
in, of which we hope to say more next month,
this aim bids fair to be realized.
The elaborate and highly artistic fantasy of
Mr. Rackham’s illustrations for Peter Pan, as
exhibited last month at the Leicester Gallery,
proved a source of great interest to artists and
to a very large section of the public. The
character of his art is supported by a backbone
of true realism which prevents its lapsing into
the careless or outrageous. In the same gallery
Messrs. Lee Hankey, Hugh Norris, Graham
Petrie, Terrick Williams, and P. A. Hay had
arranged a successful exhibition. The skill
of Mr. Hankey and Mr. Terrick Williams as

water-colourists is well known. There was a
quietly delightful quality in Mr. Norris’s work, and
vitality and responsiveness to colour in the art of
Mr. Petrie.
EDINBURGH.—The position as one of
the more distinctive of the younger
Scottish painters which Mr. Robert
Burns has gradually been making,
through the work he has shown in the annual
exhibitions, was confirmed by the collection of
some fifty of his pictures and drawings brought
