The International Society s Seventh Exhibition
coloured effects the poetic feeling which is charac-
teristic of this painter. The Dyke-Side of Mr.
E. A. Walton and The Gipsy Camp by the same
artist, stand out as two of the finest landscape
achievements in the exhibition. Mr. Priestman’s
The Last Mooring - Place is very representative
of that artist. A landscape of great interest
is The Barn by James Pryde. It represents
a view, through open barn-doors, of a house
romantically situated among trees — or rather
the plain square house and small stretch of
country, which constitute the scene, is made
romantic by the painter’s treatment. The whole
has a theatrical effect, attractive and apparently
carefully planned, and emphasised by the sides of
the barn-door coming at each side of the canvas
like the wings of a stage. The picture shows a
habit of viewing things of the
present time through eyes
which are learned with the
past. The temperament
which gives a man this habit
is not common; it gives to
Mr. Pryde’s paintings a rare
distinction. Something of
the same mood has been
caught in Mr. Jamieson’s
B as sin de Neptune, Versailles;
it would be difficult for a
sympathetic artist to escape
this mood at Versailles, and
there is much else in this
canvas which speaks emphati-
cally of Mr. Jamieson’s
talents. Of the three contri-
butions by Mr. Nicholson
the Portrait of Miss Alex-
ander is the only one that
can compare in interest with
the Portrait of Mrs. Curie,
which last year added so
greatly to his laurels.
Many are the paintings
which claim high praise and
comment in this exhibition.
The beautiful art of Le
Sidaner is here as effective
as ever, and Charles Cottet’s
work, so well known to our
readers, is again remarkable.
There is a fine Mesdag in
the exhibition and a notable
portrait by Aman-Jean.
George Buysse’s Morning in
146
March admirably represents him. The Wild Beast
by Mr. Orpen, Mr. Alfred Wither’s La Fontaine de
Neptune, Carcassonne, should in any case be
mentioned, and so should L^alage by Mr. Francis
Howard, a painting in which colour is cleverly
chosen and arranged in an attempt to convey
immediate pleasure. We should have liked to
devote some space to the works of Messrs. C.
Ricketts, Hans Thoma, Leistikow, J. J. Shannon,
Ludovici, E. Dekkert and M. A. J. Bauer, and before
passing to the sculpture we would also mention
works by Messrs. Bruckman, Goodall, Neven du
Mont, J. W. Morrice, James Paterson, F. H. New-
bery, H. M. Livens, Gari Melchers, and several
others. There are also exhibited in the balcony of
the galleries this year a more than usually interesting
series of works. The show here consists entirely
