tested the degree of taste possessed by artists
before ever pencil is put to paper, when selection
and treatment come into play. In the case of
photography everything depends upon the first
arrangement, which calls for unfailing taste and a
knowledge of tradition.
We reproduce as a supplement a water-colour
drawing of the famous Bridge of Sighs in Venice,
by the late C. E. Holloway, of whose works an
exhibition was recently held at the Baillie Galleries.
The name of Whistler is associated with that of
Holloway, whose neglected art he befriended.
There can be little doubt that in his own art
Whistler owed something to Holloway. They
were drawn to similar subjects, such as the River
Thames and Venice, and Holloway's more prosaic
brush perhaps suggested to Whistler aspects of
both which in his own art he rendered with such
beauty.
The exhibitions held in London during the
months of August and September are usually of
such moderate interest that the collection of paint-
ings and water-colours now on view at the Leicester

Galleries should prove a boon to the many visitors
who only come to the Metropolis during the holiday
season. Here will be found a limited number of
pictures by well-known artists, several of which will
well repay careful study. The water-colours are
the more interesting, comprising as they do drawings
by such acknowledged masters as Turner, David
Cox, Peter de Wint, George Barret, Samuel Prout,
David Roberts, James Holland, William Hunt,
J. S. Cotman, Tom Collier, and E. M. Wimperis,
together with an impressive piece by Mr. Arthur
Severn, called Sunrise at Sea, in which the general
tonality and atmospheric qualities are particularly
fine. Amongst the paintings The Waterfall, by
Mr. Wilson Steer, shows dignity of conception and
is rendered with strength and lofty simplicity. Mr.
John Lavery is represented by three examples, of
which The Lady in Black is the most important.
Mr. Charles Conder's An bord de la mer is a
beautiful colour harmony, while A Blue Seascape,
by Henry Moore, shows the finest qualities of the
marine painter's art.
