The Society of Twenty-Five English Painters
this exhibition resolves itself
into a sensitive analysis of
the effect of sunlight in
paintings of the nude (the
one reproduced was not
quite finished when it was
photographed). There are
in his paintings many very
beautiful passages explain-
ing the delicate interchange
of colour in reflected lights
and in the difficult shadows
of the flesh. In the classical
subjects he chooses, his
nymphs have really an as-
sociation with the legendary
beauty which our memory
prepares us for.
In the art of Mr. Melton
"spring in Ayrshire" by george Houston Fisher we have something
