have seen from his brush elsewhere. A notice-
able work is Mr. H. S. Hopwood's Breakfast
Table.
Amongst younger English painters who by
their work are rapidly coming into repute, few
stand a better chance of attaining distinction
than Mr. F. Cadogan Cowper. His is not an
unacademic art in these unacademic days; it
subscribes largely to the precedents of painting
set by the academic school. The expressioniof
an individuality, however, is not a thing neces-
sarily quashed under these conditions : though
an art which is personal and strong without
eccentricity or over-statement nowadays seems
quite rare. His two pictures, Marianna in
the South and Patient Griselda, which we
reproduce, were shown at a recent exhibition
of the Old Water-Colour Society. Ceitain
qualities of painting in the picture of Marianna
especially recommended themselves to us, both
in the figure and in the very able handling of
still-life. We remarked the well-lighted wall on
"patient griselda" by f. cadogan cowper
"marianna in the south" ]!y f. cadogan cowper
which the mirror hangs, and the treatment
accorded to the mirror itself and its reflections.
Mr. H. S. Hopwood, who has been exhibiting
at Van Wisselingh's Gallery some oil paintings,
is one of the artists whose work, in the words
of Whistler, "is finished from the beginning."
Every touch seems to have behind it the weight
of freshly received impulse, nothing is me-
chanical, the exact stage at which the artist
leaves his picture is, after all, a matter not of
the greatest consequence. Whether the work
is slight, unpainted to the point of being merely
a suggestion, or whether carried to the furthest
limits of finish, one is always pleasurably aware
that the artist never paints except in his
happiest moments.
At Mr. H. Tinson's Gallery Mr. J. H. Jurres,
a Dutch artist, has lately exhibited many skilful
chalk drawings and oil-paintings, the latter pos-
sessing in many cases fine quality of colour.
The subjects, chiefly of a biblical nature, were
conceived with imagination.
