International studio (33.1907/1908(1908))

Studio-Talk


This was parti-
cularly notice-
able in the
jewellery by
Messrs. Hugh
B. Cunning-
ham, W. S.
Hadaway, J. A.
Hodel, Edward
Spencer and J.
H. M. Bonner.
Mr. Richard
Garbe’s silver
scent bottle
(p. 60) is an ex-
cellent piece of
work, charming
in colour, re-
fined and
restrained i n
design. Among
the larger exhi-
bits a stove in
steel and brass,
designed by Mr.
G. LI. Morris,
bust of h. j. dyer, esq. was worthy of
by mervyn Lawrence notice. The
sculpture this
year was more interesting than usual. The design
for a monument by Charles Petworth showed a deeper
than usual knowledge of architecture in its relation
to figure sculpture. E. S. Gillick sent a fountain of
considerable merit. A statuette, a beautiful nude
figure, by Mervyn Lawrence, was one of the best
things in the exhibition. Mr. Garbe’s sculpture

studies of Progress, Man and the Ideal., The
Outcast, and Sport, were arresting and suggestive.
