Abbey in America, Puvis de Chavannes in France,
Franz Stuck and Joseph Sattler in Germany, show
that the field is not left to the youngsters entirely.
L. V. Solon has one capital design ; Dudley Hardy
keeps the place he has deservedly acquired. Both
Beardsley and Grieffenhagen have apparently for-
saken the placard for a time. Mr. A. S. Hartrick's
excellent introduction to the catalogue is full of
sound criticism, and the official note of the Com-
mittee deploring the low average of the lettering,
and the impractical nature of many designs sent
in, should not be overlooked. Mr. E. Bella, to
whose energy the show is due, has surpassed him-
self in a copiously illustrated catalogue, with a
cover in paper-bas-relief at once novel and
charming.
The recent exhibition at the Galleries of the
Fine Art Society of a collection of water-colour
drawings by Mr. Albert Goodwin bore striking
evidence of the individuality and remarkable
powers of that painter. Occasional criticisms of
an unfavourable nature are sometimes levelled
against "one-man shows." Such comments, how-
ever justifiable they may be in some instances,
would be entirely out of place in this, as it is only
by the comparison of many works of such a painter
as Mr. Goodwin that we can gauge his merits and
judge him at his true value. We regret that want
of space prevents us from indulging in an extended
criticism of his drawings. We have selected one,
the Taj Mahal, for presentation in our pages,
because we think it fairly typical of Mr. Goodwin's
work. There are some scenes that are so beauti-
ful that they defy the power of the average painter
to give adequate expression to them. Such an one
is the great mausoleum erected by Shah Jehan.
Painters and photographers alike have lamented
their utter inability to catch the subtle beauty, the
sublimity of this great work of art and nature.
That Mr. Goodwin has succeeded in this in a
marvellous degree is convincing evidence of his
rare talent.
Mr. Philip Burne-Jones will be represented at
the New Gallery by a number of small pictures in
oil and water-colour. The largest has for subject
the moment when the Ancient Mariner sees gliding
