STUDIO-TALK.
(From Our Own Correspondents.)
LONDON.—Mr. Alexander Jamieson,
whose picture Fontainebleau, here re-
produced, was exhibited at the last
Goupil Gallery Salon, has the gift of
flooding a canvas with light. A study of many
of his canvases brings us to the conclusion that
this is his chief gift at present, and it is no in-
considerable one, requiring all the art of the
subtlest form of impressionistic painting to ob-
tain that heightening of values which gives the
wonderful result he attains.
The Carfax Gallery recently exhibited some
statuettes by Mr. Reginald Wells, in which the
sculptor has expressed himself with much indi-
viduality ; showing sympathy for certain aspects
of life which, in England at any rate, have, alas !
almost escaped commemoration in sculpture.
From the work shown on this occasion we re-
produce two characteristic pieces.
“ MOTHER AND CHILD” (BRONZE) BY REGINALD WELLS
( Exhibited at the Carfax Gallery)
“GIRL SEWING” (TERRA-COTTA) BY REGINALD WELLS
(Exhibited at the Carfax Gallery)
The New Association of Artists’ second exhibi-
tion at the Goupil Gallery contained many
interesting things, notably Mr. T. F. M. Sheard’s
Under the Arcade, Ghasdaia and Santa Maria
della Salute; Mr. S. J. Lamorna Birch’s water-
colours ; Mr. W. Graham Robertson’s The Pleached
Bower; Mr. Paul Paul’s Eventide; Mr. H, Becker’s
Potato Gatherers; and Mr. T. Robertson’s The
Harbour, St. Valery-sur-Somme.
Two or three exhibitions of water-colours which
have lately taken place should be mentioned. Mr.
George Thomson, whose drawings have been on
view at the Goupil Gallery, is one of the best of
contemporary water-colourists, and excels in such
grey pieces as Dole—Stormy Evening. This artist
also contributed to the first exhibition of the New
Society of Water-Colour Painters at the New
Dudley Gallery, where also we saw some interest-
ing work by Sir William Eden, Messrs. T. F.
Catchpole, Fred Mayor, A. G. Bell and other
artists.
It is by no means an uncommon thing for a
British architect to receive a commission from a
