Helen Bedford, were all works of much success.
Miss Gertrude des Clayes’ work was especially
worthy of remark ; the eighteenth-century masters
have evidently been studied, but though her style
is a reminiscent one, it has individuality of feeling.
Miss Clare Atwood was represented by those
little panels in which her art displays itself to
such advantage. Miss Annie French’s work was
as pleasantly decorative as ever, and the more
decorative the more pleasant, for she does not
succeed as a realist. Messrs. Norman Wilkinson,
R. Anning Bell, J. A. Shepherd, John Hassall,
and notably Mr. W. Graham Robertson, who has
excelled so much in the interpretation of child life,
were represented on this occasion.
The Carfax Gallery last month exhibited pictures
and drawings by Prof. C. J. Holmes. Prof. Holmes
is a sensitive painter, but though such a student of
the art of painting, in other than a technical sense,
he, no more than other gifted contemporaries of his,
has learnt from the old masters that reserve which
belongs to strength and which always stops short
of a merely musical sweetness.
At the Fine Art Society the work of the quartette
of Roman Painters, E. Coleman, U. Coromaldi, V.
Grassi and C.Innocenti, made a success in January,
the proceeds going to the Italian Earthquake Fund.
The exhibition of sketches held by the Royal
Institute of Painters in Water Colours was char-
acterised by the lack of character which so much
of the work showed, and where character was
present, it was too much of one kind. Mr.
Dudley Hardy’s achievements often survive the
double test, and among the various groups of
pictures (the exhibits of each painter were grouped
together on this occasion) were some works which
should be singled out as above the average,
such as Mr. Stuart Richardson’s Waiting for the
Market, Mr. Saunderson Wells’ The Favourite and
Heavy Going, John R. Reid’s The Fishing Fleet,
Mr. Claude Hayes’ A Fainy Road, Mr. John
Hassall’s The Tiff, Mr. Douglas Almond’s Girl of
Pont Aven, Mr. W. Hatherell’s Coast near Hyeres,
Mr. Terrick Williams’ An Archway, Tangiers, Mr.
H. M. Rheams’ The Wreck. It is a pity that so
little variety creeps into Mr. Moffat Lindner’s art,
