Art School Notes
were amusingly recorded not long ago in a popular
magazine. It is a curious thing that Mr. Ricketts
and Mr. Shannon, companions always in the arts,
should have won their Gilbert prizes (for Lambeth)
together, in the competition of 1885.
In this year’s competition the award of honour
given to the club that shows the best collection of
gilbert-garret competition, 19C8 : ist trize for
sculpture by h. oakley (kennington)*
sketches was allotted to the Royal College of Art
by the judges, Mr. Frank Brangwjn, A.R.A., Mr.
Arnesby Brown, A.R.A., and Mr. Alfred Drury,
A.R.A. Among the College of Art sketches,
landscapes predominated, and one of them gained
the first landscape prize. This was taken by Mr.
H. A. Budd with a vigorous study in oil of a
summer sea breaking over half-submerged rocks,
the only objection to which was that it did not
exactly illustrate the subject set for landscape—-
“ Desolation.” Far better from this point of view
was the oil sketch of night falling over lonely hilly
country, with which Mr. A. Kidd won for the
College one of the three third landscape prizes.
Mr. G. H. Day gained the second prize for figure
composition (“ A Subject from Kipling ”) with a
bold design illustrating one of the “ Just-So Stories,”
and Mr. C. Allan Wallis the second animal prize
(“At the Water’s Edge”) with a creditable painting
of the unloading of barges by horses and carts.
Several other works in the College of Art collection
were highly commended by the judges.
The Royal Academy Club was awarded one
of the three prizes for sculpture, for a model by
Mr. Alfred Buxton, but the works in line and
colour from Burlington House were few in number,
and only one was of real excellence. This was
Miss M. E. Green’s drawing in red and black chalk,
on grey paper, of men watering horses : a capital
sketch, full of light and atmosphere, that was
awarded the first prize in the animal section.
Miss Green, before she went to the Academy, was
the pupil of Mr. Calderon at the School of Animal
Painting, where she won a scholarship in 1903.
One of the second prizes in the animal section
was taken by a student of the Calderon School,
Miss K. A. Smith, with a dashing little painting in
oil, of a dog drinking at a rocky pool. Of the

prize was given.
