Studio- Talk
the design for a bandstand of which
a detail is illustrated here. It is a
useful piece of work, displaying,
besides certain good decorative de-
vices, a knowledge of the fitness of
things. Mr. Gillick's original model is
now at the Paris International Exhibi-
tion. Another student, Joseph Else,
is equally successful, as is proved by
his modelled fire-dog and his designs
for lace curtains.

NOTTINGHAM.—The recent exhibition
of work of the School of Art, held at the
Museum and Art Gallery, proved not
only satisfactory in a general sense, but
evinced a marked advance in modelling. In this,
perhaps, the specimens of applied design reached
the higher water-mark in comparison with the
figure studies. This is not a little gratifying; for,
although in these days it is trite enough to say that
applied-art teaching is of the highest importance,
there is still in many quarters an obstinate prefer-
ence for a dilettantism that trifles far too much
with painting, to the detriment of those arts which
minister to the daily needs of all classes.
The exhibition included several good designs
for lace curtains. These at once found due recog-
nition, both for their own individual merit and for
the interest attaching to them from the important
position held by Nottingham as a lace centre.
The weakest part of the whole exhibition—if we
may introduce a discordant note—was a collection
of posters, whose somewhat large dimensions
served only to accentuate the bad qualities of
their conception and treatment, to say nothing of
faulty drawing.
Among the most promising students at the
School is Ernest G. Gillick. He is responsible for fire-dog modelled by joseph else
