Studio- Talk
Gallery in Melbourne recently. The work was
imported by Messrs. Robertson & Moffat, and the
collection contained examples of Seymour Haden,
Whistler, Albrecht Diirer, Rembrandt, Jean
Francois Millet, Helleu, Zorn, W. Strang, and
Lionel Smythe.
A fine portrait of Rudyard Kipling, by William
Strang, was purchased by the Trustees of the Mel-
bourne National Gallery from the collection. From
a plebiscite taken, it was discovered that Mont
St. Michael, by Axel H. Haig, was the favourite
exhibit. This, it should be said, reflects the
opinion of the general public, and not of the
Melbourne artists.
Mr. Tom Roberts held a four days' exhibition in
the same gallery during the last week of June.
Six portraits in pastel [proved what a beautiful
medium pastel is for the delineation of women's
and children's faces. Mrs. Whiting exhibited, at
the same time, some charming miniatures of fresh
young faces.
A new club, called the " T Square Club," has
recently been started in Melbourne by the archi-
tects. It promises to flourish ; and as it makes
every effort to reveal architecture from its highest
standpoint, it will do much to raise and develop
the taste of the rising generation. The outward
and visible sign of this inward and spiritual grace
will be seen, it is to be hoped, in our modern
dwelling-houses, both within and without.
This movement, in connection with the
mooted School of Arts and Crafts at the Mel-
bourne National Gallery, should do away with
that abomination of desolation the suburban
villa.
The gifts or the writers and artists of Victoria
are requisitioned in aid of the Melbourne Children's
Hospital. A Booklet is being compiled, the pro-
ceeds of the sale of which are to be devoted to the
hospital funds. Amongst the artists contributing
illustrations are Messrs. J. Longstaff, Walter
Withers, E. P. Fox, and F. McCubbin.
