and has achieved good decorative results by rubbing
colour into the sunken parts and leaving flakes of
white glaze standing out upon the shaded ground.
With the varied material at the craftsman's disposal
the possibility of new effects appears to be endless.

The " Landscape Exhibition" at the Dudley
Gallery has already become established as an
annual event of much artistic importance. It has
peculiar qualities which mark it as definitely apart
from the general run of picture shows, and pos-

tinguishes the ordinary gathering of modern
productions. The fourth exhibition of the series,
which was opened at the beginning of January,
was in type and ^arrangement like those that have
preceded it. The same six artists who contributed
last year, Mr. R. W. Allan, Mr. J. Aumonier, Mr.
J. S. Hill, Mr. A. D. Peppercorn, Mr. Leslie
Thomson, and Mr. E. A. Waterlow, were repre-

them they made up a collection that was of no
little importance. The most interesting of the
pictures on view were Mr. Allan's September in the
Highlands and A Breezy Day on the North Coast,
