BRONZE AND DESIGNED BY THOS. FALCONER
SILVER CROSS EXECUTED BY F. DENDY WRAY
of Dieppe by Mr. Walter Sickert, landscapes by Messrs.
Lucien Pissaro, F. F. Footet, J. W. Buxton Knight,
E. A. Hornel, Holloway and others, and a rare
example of Monticelli’s art. The exhibition of Mr.
J. D. Fergusson’s art in Gallery 2 was of particular
interest. Seen collectively his paintings reveal a
colourist with a wide range. Sometimes there is
artificiality—the colour being that of the artist’s-
colourman rather than of nature, but a truer feeling
constantly asserts itself. In Gallery 3 the drawings
by Mr. Paul Woodroffe, illustrating “The Tempest,”
represent a unique effort in illustration. In some
instances, perhaps, the spontaneity of the idea is
obscured by an affectation of the surface-effect of
colour-printing as it was a generation or so ago and
hardly reconcileable with the lively fancy and the
repleteness and feeling of the detail. Calling for com-
mendation were Miss Maud Henderson’s drawings, and
the fans of Miss Nora Murray Robertson at this Gallery.
The first of the two crosses illustrated on this page
forms part of a set of altar ornaments designed by
Mr. Thomas Falconer, architect, and executed by
Mr. F. Dendy Wray, for presentation to the Lady
Chapel, at S. Nicholas, Hurst, Berkshire, which was
recently refitted for service after long disuse. The
cross, which is 21 inches high, is of hammered bronze,
with silver emblems and leaf work, while the edging
of grape and vine leaf is bronze repoussé. The other
cross illustrated is of iron and brass, with pottery
enamel, and was designed by Mr. Robert Evans.
At the Fine Art Society’s Galleries Mr. Mortimer
Menpes held an exhibition of his etchings and dry-
points. Despite his association with Whistler, wit-
nessed to here by several portraits of the master, Mr.
Menpes has kept an art of his own—undecided, per-
haps, and experimental, and rising and falling in its
