“twilight grey” (New Zealand Academy) by f. sedgwick
Among the work of local exhibitors deserving
of mention several portraits were exhibited by
Mr. W. A. Bowring and Mrs. J. A. Tripe—one
of a child by the latter being particularly fresh
and convincing in its flesh tints. A portrait of
Miss Millicent Jennings by A. Elizabeth Kelly
was an excellent and refined piece of colouring.
Generally speaking, however, among the work
exhibited there was far too great a tendency to
brutality in execution and violence in colour, in
many instances by those who should know
better, thus tending to have a bad effect on the
students. There were, however, a fair number
of works in which the artists were content to
work quietly along sound lines, and among
these worthy of special mention are Evening on
the Beach and A Rocky Coast, by Cecil F. Kelly ;
Twilight Greyly F. Sedgwick; A Winter Evening,
by W. S. Wauchop; and Across the Estuary,
by Grace Butler. Some quiet and harmonious
works in both oil and water-colour by Messrs.
Menzies Gibbs and C. Hay Campbell and Pte.
N. Welch, and some telling and pleasing sketches
in both mediums by Messrs. W. A. Bowring and
E. G. Hood, were worthy of attention.
The water-colours included a loan exhibition
of the works of Mr. A. W. Walsh, one of the
most accomplished painters of New Zealand
landscape in this medium, whose recent death
at a comparatively early age is much regretted.
A collection of sketches, pleasing in colour and
feeling, of Cairo, were sent by Bombardier
A. Nicholl of the N.Z. Field Artillery, recently
reported wounded on the Somme. The work
of Miss J. Evatt was vigorous but agreeable in
feeling, and among others may be mentioned
the work of Mrs. R. M. Hughes, Mr. C. N.
Worsley, and Mr. F. Wright. In the model-
ling section, Mr. J. Macdonald showed two
interesting bronzed reliefs depicting incidents
in Maori life, and in the students’ section the
modelling work of the students of Mr. J. Ellis
of the Wellington Technical College called for
notice. E. A. S. K.
