also shown in his rendering of such a familiar
subject with painters as Doge's Palace, Venice.
Westminster, London, a sketch rubbed in with a
few elementary colours, showed that back of Mr.
Morrice’s shadowy definitions, there is mastery of
the basic craft of drawing.
One of the most versatile of Canadian painters
is Mr. Franklin Brownell of Ottawa. In the past
Mr. Brownell has been noted for the brilliance
and harmony of his colour arrangements in depict-
ing West Indian scenes. Though he has not
abandoned this field, where he has spent much of
his time, he showed that he was equally happy in
the rendering of typical Canadian woodland in his
canvas In June, while in Habitants Watering
Horses he depicted felicitously another aspect
of Canadian life.
The woodlands and the inland lakes of Canada
have no more poetic interpreter than Mr. J.
Archibald Browne, whose canvases almost in-
variably combine harmony of arrangement with
tenderness of colouring and smoothness of brush-
work. Sundown lingered in the memory of all
who saw it because of these qualities, and in
another canvas, After Rain, he conveyed inimit-
ably and poetically the effect of moisture rising
from the earth.
Mr. William Brymner, C.M.G., of Montreal,
President of the Royal Canadian Academy, is a
sterling painter who is usually represented by a
variety of soundly painted subjects. At this ex-
hibition an excursion into the nude, showing a
recumbent figure sleeping, won much approval not
only because of the admirable flesh painting and
suggestion of repose in the relaxed muscles, but
of the felicitous colour arrangement in the sur-
roundings. Mr. Maurice Cullen of Montreal, a
most gifted painter of Canadian winter scenes,
particularly distinguished himself by his pastel
Solitude, showing the reflection of trees on an
ice-bound stream in opalescent tones, contrasted
with the dun of the plantation.
The brilliant French Canadian painter, Mr.
Suzor Cote, was represented only by diminutive
