Studio- Talk
school at sandgate wickham jarvis, architect
Mr. George Clausen is such an interesting artist, with him to choose discreetly the worthiest
methods so markedly individual and with so fresh a con- aspects of nature. He gives his in-
ception of his responsibilities, that every exhibition of dividuality full play, and both in the
his work deserves a special amount of attention. He
has lately put on view at the Goupil Gallery some fifty
pictures and drawings, which summarise in a fascinating way
many of his most attractive qualities. The Path by the Ricks
and The Little Orchard are perhaps the most notable of the
oil paintings. The first is a decisively handled study of a
typical rustic subject, full of rich contrasts of colour and very
vigorous in its effects of tone; the second is a brilliantly
luminous record of sunlight, very sensitively observed and
exquisitely subtle in modulations of tender greys and greens.
Of the pastel drawings the most remarkable is The Sawpit,
very dignified and sincere in style; but there are many others
which claim unqualified praise for their beauty of method or
their originality of design.
Mr. Oliver Hall, devoted though he is to a comparatively
limited form of expression, avoids very cleverly those con-
ventions which are apt to hamper the progress of a man with
strong artistic convictions. In the exhibition of his oil paint-
ings which is now open in Messrs. Dowdeswell's Gallery, as in cold pendant with mother-o'pearl
previous shows of his work, he proves himself to be a. shrewd background, set with a pearl and
. . ... small diamonds, designed by c. r.
observer, with a well-defined decorative leaning that inclines ashbee. executed by w. jones
