Studio: international art (20.1900)

The National Competition, 1900

design based on a flowering plant by edith a. julia wright

knows the mechanism of his craft can still take
his place beside the masters of decorative paint-
ing who were the ornaments of past centuries ;
and, above all, it repeats, with an emphasis that
cannot be misunderstood, the great truth that
esthetic successes are only within the reach of
those men who are prepared to strive for them
with honest sincerity. B. S.

HE NATIONAL COMPETI-
TION, 1900. BY ESTHER
WOOD.

The annual exhibition of works sent up to
the South Kensington examiners from the
various art classes throughout the kingdom was

design for a woven fabric by reginald west

opened at the Royal College of Art at the end of
July—a time somewhat ill chosen for Londoners,
making the exhibition occupy the holiday season,
but perhaps convenient for provincial visitors, to
furniture covering by w. stoddart whom it widely appeals. Of the London schools.
