clever study of detail, Miss C. Ouless an award for
a painting of a man's back, and Mr. W. E. G.
Solomon the silver medals for a set of drawings
from life and for a cartoon of a draped figure. A
much higher standard was reached in the sculpture
competitions, in which Mr. A. C. White took the
gold medal, and Mr. L. Jennings and Mr. F.
Ransom other prizes. Mr. L. V. Grace gained
the gold medal for architecture.
We have pleasure in giving on page 71 an
illustration of a clever decorative painting by
Mr. George Phoenix, entitled The Annunciation.
The "Landscape Exhibition" at the Dudley
Gallery is always an excellently consistent and
serious show. It was as good as ever this year,
and included many things of very great interest.
Such canvases as Sir. E. A. Waterlow's Gorge
d'Apremont, Mr. Leslie Thomson's On the Arun
and A Cool Retreat, Mr. R. W. Allan's Far off
among the Hills, and Mr. Peppercorn's subdued
and dignified Twilight deserve to be remembered
as admirable records of Nature; and there were
some pastoral landscapes, delightful in sentiment
and quality, by Mr. Aumonier and Mr. Mark
Fisher. The collection was especially attractive in
its general effect, and it had throughout a very
welcome atmosphere of sincerity.
A collection of a hundred drawings by Thomas
Collier, one of the ablest and most observant of
our water-colour painters, has recently been on
view at the Leicester Galleries. The Exhibition
was very convincing as a display of confident
accomplishment, and as an assertion of the remark-
able intelligence of an artist who looked at Nature
in a way peculiarly his own. His exquisite drawing
of landscape forms, his subtle feeling for atmo-
spheric tone and for delicacies of light and shade,
his tender and yet vigorous sense of colour, and
his instinctive regard for style made everything he
produced worthy of the closest attention; and this
show proved beyond dispute his right to a place
beside Cox and Copley Fielding, and the other
British masters.
Among the water-colour painters who have
made an especial study of the beautiful English
country, its simple, picturesque cottages, and its
changing atmospheric effects, there is no one who
has done truer justice to the subject than Mr. Wilfrid
