Studio: international art (26.1902)

Turin Exhibition

tooled by their workmen
from designs furnished by
students of the Glasgow
School of Art. Other books
are by Charles R. Mackay,
D. Y. Cameron, Katharine
Cameron, Ann Macbeth,
Caroline Taylor, Jessie
Keppie, and Agnes Wat-
son ; while to show the
application of good and
sound art to the books of
commerce, some printed
covers by Talwin Morris,
for the firm of Blackie &
Sons, call for special atten-
tion.

Two other books, one in
green morocco, and the
other in white vellum, are
done by MacLehose & Sons
to designs by Jessie M.
King, whose work as in-
structor of a class in book
decoration strongly deter-
mines the character of most leaded glass panels by j. Herbert McNair

of the products coming from Glasgow. Among
the enamellists are Lady Gibson Carmichael, De
Courcy Dewar, Agnes Harvey, Helma Story, and
David Ritchie, while James C. Watt, of Aberdeen,
sends specimens of the goldsmith's craft. An
example of this same artist's use of silver and
enamel is seen in a chalice and paten, lent by
Professor Cooper, of Glasgow University. Some
brooches and belt-clasps in pewter are sent
by Jessie M. Newbery, who further submits a
work not common in exhibitions of this nature,
namely, a child's dress in blue linen, embroidered
with a grape pattern in colored silks. Some
people, though of small stature, are said to carry
themselves with a dignity far beyond their inches,
and something of this sort must be said about the
Scottish Section of the Turin Show. The little
there is, is good, and the interest evoked carries
the visitor beyond the question of mere quantity.
But this exhibition shows that Scotland is pos-
sessed of a body of art workers who are executing
sound and thoughtful work, and are winning for
themselves a place among those with whom
decorative art is at once the highest and the truest
expression of man's worship of the beautiful.
