THE BLACK MILL, WINCHELSEA (ETCHING)
BY FRANK BRANGWYN, A.R.A.
IN THE GALLERIES
The New York season does not get well
under way before November in the various
galleries along Fifth Avenue. Many of the
familiar galleries are now to be found at new ad-
dresses, the move uptown, indeed, being even
more noticeable than it was at this time last year.
In fact, it seems as though the district between
Forty-second Street and the Plaza will be the ulti-
mate section for all the galleries. Partly on ac-
count of the details incidental to moving, very few
definite dates for special exhibitions were to be had
at the date of going to press.
Assuming an itinerary starting a little above
Madison Square and pursuing a course uptown
along Fifth Avenue, however, fall activity in cer-
tain of the galleries may be noted.
Mr. C. W. Kraushaar announces an exhibition
of a collection of original etchings by Frank Brang-
wyn. The exhibition will contain the best examples
of Mr. Brangwyn’s etchings, including not only his
better-known plates, but some with which collect-
ors in this country are not familiar. There is a
peculiar character in Mr. Brangwyn’s work as an
etcher which makes his work with the needle quite
different from that of Joseph Pennell or Seymour
Fladen—as different, in fact, as his technique in
painting is from that of his contemporaries here
and abroad. Mr. Brangwyn
is an artist of no small ver-
satility, occupying a very
prominent place among En-
glish mural painters as well
as holding a distinctive place
of his own as an illustrator.
Mr. Frederick Keppel
opened his season with an
exhibition (from September
25 to October 10) of etch-
ings and dry points of Mexico
and Maine by Cadwallader
Washburn. The variance in
the nature of the two sketch-
ing grounds selected by the
etcher is marked, but his ver-
satility in adequate treat-
ment of Spanish Colonial
churches and ancient tem-
ples in Mexico, contrasted
with values no less excellent
in his sympathetic rendering
of the simple New England landscapes of Maine,
illustrates his abilities in unmistakable terms.
The second showing in the Keppel Galleries (from
the 12th to the 31st of October) will consist of a
series of new lithographs and etchings by Joseph
Pennell. These are presented under a general
title, “The Wonder of Work,” and will comprise,
chiefly, the etcher’s characteristic interpretations
of the more picturesque aspects of the great manu-
facturing cities, such as the famous industrial cen-
ters of Sheffield, Leeds, Birmingham and Cardiff in
England and Wales and the “coal towns” of
Pennsylvania in this country. During the month
of November it is announced that this will be fol-
lowed by the showing of a collection of the works
of early German engravers. It has been said that
any consideration of these should be dated for-
ward and backward from Diirer. Shongauer was
his predecessor, Lucas of Leyden and Israel Van
Meckenen were his contemporaries and the “Lit-
tle Masters” were his successors. Of the work of
Israel Van Meckenen some very rare and almost
unknown examples will be shown, together with
some superb woodcuts by Diirer and a number of
plates from the Weiss Kunig of Burgamaier.
This exhibition will give place in December to a
collection of ecthings, dry points, drawings and
water colors of the late Sir Seymour Haden.
