STUDY FOR "THE CALL BY A. E. EMSLIE
Mr. Grego, of pictures of
women of various dates,
painted chiefly by deceased
masters. Some admirable
canvases have been chosen
from famous private gal-
leries, and an excellent
result has been arrived at.
In this same section is
hung a series of water-
colours of types of feminine
beauty by Sir J. D. Linton,
several pastels by Mrs.
Jopling, and groups of
pretty faces and figures by
Mr. H. T. Schafer, Mr.
Bernard Partridge, Mr.
Harold Speed, Mr. Storey,
and other artists who can
treat feminine charms with
success. As there is, be-
sides, a great number of
examples of those crafts in
which women excel, the
show is clearly acceptable
as a sincere effort to fix the
place that women should
occupy in the modern
aesthetic movement.
As an assertion of what women can do in art,
the exhibition at Earl's Court this year is quite
worthy to be taken seriously. It shows very
adequately the many directions in which the
feminine capacities are progressing under the
influence of modern ambitions and present-day
educational facilities. The collection of pictures,
drawings and sculpture that fills the Queen's Palace
is interesting because it presents an agreeable
mixture of British and foreign art, and affords
chances of comparison that are definitely valuable.
The average is reasonably high, for although a
good deal of work has been included that can
be passed by without attention there are many
pictures of real merit that raise the level of the
show and give it a good measure of authority.
Most of these notable productions come from
abroad, but some of our native artists—like Mrs.
Swynnerton, Miss Fanner, Miss Stewart Wood
and Miss Bessie Macnicol—hold their own well
against all competition, and provide centres of
interest in the galleries. Another section of the
exhibition is given up to a collection, arranged by
48
At Mr. Fordham's
agency, in Maddox Street, Regent Street, Mr. J.
Paul Cooper has recently been showing some
refined work in shagreen and silver, one example
of which is illustrated on this page. The varied
