Rembrandt Bugatti

and Mr. Alfred East’s two admirably designed
pictures, By the River and Lambourne Bridge, can
be accepted as very complete illustrations of his
fine decorative sense and of his sensitiveness as a
colourist. Mr. Fred Yates touches the right
romantic note in his strong and expressive Snow at
Rydal ■ Mr. D. Y. Cameron only misses full
success in his Eildon Hills by his failure to realise
properly the planes of his landscape ; and Mr.
Leslie Thomson, always an earnest student of
nature, fully maintains his reputation with his
Straits of Mona; Sunset., and A Summer Sea.
Attention is also due to Mr. J. S. Hill’s Evening on
the Arun, Mr. J. Aumonier’s Old Cottages at
Barrington, Mr. J. L. Pickering’s Alpine Twilight,
Mr. W. Llewellyn’s Winter, Mr. Montague
Smyth’s ably treated Norfolk Mill, Mr. Lindner’s
The Setting Sun, Dordrecht, Mr. R. W. Allan’s
The Grey No?-th Sea, and to Mr. Alfred Hartley’s
fine study of colour and atmosphere, Far into the
Night. Mr. Harold Speed’s The Old Garden at
Tivoli by Moonlight can be commended for its truth
of tone and soundness of handling ; and Mr. Iv)7-
stan Hetherington’s Life on the Marshes for its
good understanding of atmospheric values.

The sculpture in the Central Hall is less
important than usual, but it includes such note-
worthy performances as Mr. Albert Toft’s Seymour
Hicks, Esq., Mr. John Tweed’s The Hon. Mrs.
Gervase Beckett, Mr. F. Derwent Wood’s Sketch
for a Garden Statue, Mr. F. W. Pomeroy’s Sketch
for War Memorial for Charterhouse School, Mr.
George Frampton’s Seymour Lucas, Esq., R.A.,
and Mr. Drury’s Education, a study for one of the
groups on the new Vauxhall Bridge. In the same
part of the exhibition will be found a very original
and strongly treated Processional Cross by Mr. W.
Reynolds-Stephens; some excellent examples of
craftsmanship by Mr. and Mrs. Gaskin, Mr. Alex-
ander Fisher, and M. Lucien Gaillard; and water-
colours of much merit by Mr. A. G. Bell, Mr.
T. C. Gotch, Mr. H. J. Ford and Miss Mary Gow.
