The Paintings of Hilda Fearon
“under the cliffs”
(In the collection of J. G. Lyon, Esq.)
BY HILDA FEARON
The facts of Miss Fearon’s career are soon told.
She received her first training at the Slade School,
but learnt her real business as a painter in face of
the problems of Nature in the class conducted by
Mr. Algernon Talmage at St. Ives, Cornwall.
Miss Fearon is a member of the Royal Institute of
Oil Painters, where she exhibits regularly, as also
in the International. The recognition that her
work has received from the Royal Academy is to
the credit of that institution. Last year she had
no fewer than three pictures “on the line.” One
of them, Green and Silver, was awarded an
Honourable Mention at the International exhibi-
tion at Pittsburgh this year, and is now touring
round other towns in the United States. The
Ballet Master, exhibited in the Royal Academy in
1912, received an Honourable Mention in the
Paris Salon of 19x3. Her single contribution to
this year’s Academy, Enchantment, supports in the
most interesting manner the idea suggested in this
article : that Miss Fearon is only now coming into
34
the full enjoyment of her emotional powers. To
the charm of workmanship is added a charm of
sentiment as real as it is free from sentimentality.
The picture is in the key of silver, and between
the girl reader and the listening children there are
silver threads of attention, so that the meaning of
the title is perfectly expressed.
An important gift of pictures has been made to
the National Gallery of British Art, Millbank,
by the Committee of the National Loan Exhibition
held at the Grosvenor Gallery in the early weeks of
this year. The works presented were purchased out
of the proceeds of the exhibition and include the
following : Anna Pavlova: La Mort du Cygne, by
John Lavery, A.R.A.; The Angler, by William
Orpen, A.R.A.; Avignon, by Oliver Hall; Donkeys
and Kites, by W. W. Russel; Ma Fi Gyaw, a
Dancer, by Gerald Festus Kelly; Portrait of a
Man, by A. McEvoy; Kew Bridge, by H. Muhr-
man ; and Design for a Fan by Mrs. Mary Davis.
