CHARCOAL SKETCH BY DERMOD O’BRIEN,
(Black and White Artists’ Society of Ireland)
audience remember how much of the great art of
Greece, of Italy, and of the Gothic builders was
thus wrought, he pointed out that “ there is some
force in the paradox that War and Art are not
always enemies, and that Peace is not always Art’s
best friend. For Art has her dangers—dangers
coming to her from men’s frivolity, their absorption
in sumptuousness and luxury, their over-attention to
trivialities and mere curiosities, their morbid excite-
ment after titillating novelties, their resultant
shallowness of judgement and sane appreciation.”
Prof. Image’s address has been reprinted as a six-
penny pamphlet by the Oxford University Press,
and the proceeds are to be given to one or other
of the War funds.
The memorial tablet illustrated opposite has
recently been placed in position in the Church of
SS. Michael and All Angels at Maidstone, and is
the work of Mr. H. H. Stansfield, of Cromer, who
was assisted in certain details by Mr. E. J. Barker,
a pupil. The design is intended to symbolise Life
and Love as expressed in the ministrations of the
Vicar whose memory is here so feelingly per-
petuated. Mr. Stansfield is Guild Master of the
Cromer Guild of Handicraft, which has been estab-
lished to attempt the appli-
cation of the teaching
of Ruskin, William Morris, and
others in connection with the pro-
duction by hand-work of simple
and beautiful articles of everyday
use as well as work of an ecclesi-
astical character.

which was founded last

in October 1913, opened its
second exhibition just before
Christmas, the work consisting of

The Society, of which Mr. William

secretary, Mr. J. Crampton Walker,
himself an enthusiastic draughts-
