successful work is Daisy Rossi, an art instructor at
the Technical School at Freemantle, the port of
Perth. The artist studied
of Design, and subse¬
quently in London under
Walter Donne. Fler best
known work, a figure¬
subject, The Dandelion
Chain, attracted consider¬
able attention when shown
at the Federal Exhibition
in South Australia. Miss
Rossi also paints land¬
scapes and designs mural
decoration.
Mr. J. W.R. Linton, the
son of Sir James Linton,
R.I., has been some years-
in West Australia, and has
a picture of Freemantle
Harbour in the Perth Gal¬
lery, where A. Levido and
Frederick Williams, two
well-known West Austra¬
lians, are also represented.
There are three West
Australian artists in
London who have gained
some success. Miss
Kathleen O'Connor, the
daughter of the engineer
who planned the vast
Kalgoorlie water scheme,
has shown at the Old
Salon and Autumn Salon
in Paris, the International,
the National Portrait
Society, and other im¬
portant exhibitions. Her

favourite subjects
groups of people in
door scenes, though
frequently does portraits,
in the free vigorous style
which distinguishes her
work. She holds a leading
place among the younger
group of Australian artists.
At the request of the then
President of the Board
of Trustees, Sir Winthrop
Hackett, Miss O’Connor
was asked a short time
ago to purchase a modern
work for the gallery, and she chose a work by Isaac
Israels (the son of Josef Israels), which is a good
example of impressionistic art.
