FLOWERS IN A CRANNIED NOOK BY LOUISE E. PERMAN
(See Glasgow Studio- Talk)
Mr. Elgood is no longer alone as a painter of
beautiful, refreshing gardens. He has companions
in his art—men who, without imitating his methods,
follow his example, and give us such delicate and
well-observed work as Mr. E. A. Rowe's The
Long Border, Holme Lacy, and The Cappuccino,
Amalfi, here illustrated in colour.
Cook, whose drawings illus-
trating The Quest of Beauty,
Real and Ldeal are also to be
seen in the galleries of the
Fine Art Society, carries the
same general principles even
further. He builds up his
broad effects bit by bit, and
trusts to the vividness of his
mental impression to make
the final result coherent.
Sometimes he succeeds, but
occasionally, when his im-
pressions have got a little
mixed, he fails to bring the
many details of his design
into proper relation.
At the Leicester gallery Mr.
and Mrs. Albert Stevens have
lately been showing a collec-
tionof water-colourlandscapes
and sketches of gardens.
These drawings are worth
noting because of their frank-
nesr of technical quality
and their merit as judicious
renderings of well-chosen
Mr. Wilmot Pilsbury's drawings of Bural
England, which fill one of the rooms of the Fine
Art Society, are more attractive for their delicacy
than their strength. They belong to that class of
pictorial work which has been practised with so
much success by artists like Birket Foster and Mrs.
Allingham, and they depend for their interest upon
the painter's capacity for rendering simple effects
daintily and discreetly ; there is in them no attempt
to deal with the stronger aspects of nature; the
subjects chosen are not of the type that would bear
any great vigour of statement. But as studies of
subtle tone relations, of minute and complicated
detail, and of diffused light, they are eminently
capable, and they suggest the charm of rural scenery
in a fashion that is most agreeable. Mr. E. Wake (See Glasgow Studio-Talk)
