Studio- Talk
Galleries. If the artist has a rival in painting them
in water-colours it will only be among those to
whom he has communicated his own point of
view. In this show his art was at its happiest,
and in such things as A Studio Note at its very
highest, the slight suggestive treatment compress-
ing no end of knowledge of flowers and of art.
Of Brabazon slightly but very welcomely remi-
niscent, such studies were yet peculiarly the ex-
pression of the artist’s own attitude towards
nature.
From an exhibition at the Dore Galleries of
some forty sketches of Victoria, British Columbia,
by Mrs. Beanlands (nee Sophie T. Pemberton),
we reproduce one which fully evidences her
genuine feeling as a landscape painter. Mrs.
Beanlands is the wife of Canon Beanlands, of
Victoria, B.C. As a figure and portrait painter
she studied under Mr. Cope at South Kensington,
at the Westminster School of Art, and at Julien’s
in Paris, where she won a gold medal for por-
traiture in the atelier of MM. J. P. Laurens and
Benjamin Constant, as well as the Smith-Julien
prize. But as a landscape artist she is entirely
self-taught, and has developed her own style as a
student of nature upon the Pacific Coast, a region
of brilliant sunshine and pellucid atmosphere.
Mrs. Beanlands has been a frequent exhibitor in
past years at the Royal Academy and the Paris
Salon.
The Fine Art Society were showing last month,
in addition to a notable collection of Japanese
prints, a group of paintings in oil and water-
colours entitled In the Land of the Latins, by
Onorato Carlandi, characterised by the breadth
and freedom of treatment which we remarked in a
previous exhibition of his at this gallery. In a
later issue we hope to reproduce some examples of
Sgr. Carlandi’s pictures.
Messrs. Wallis & Son of the French Gallery are
to be congratulated on the fine selection from the
works of Josef Israels, Matthew Maris, Henri
Harpignies, and Leon Lhermitte, of which their
last exhibition was composed. It is not always at
its best that the school to which these painters
belong is represented in public exhibitions. The
Young Cook, by M. Maris; La Nourrice, by
Lhermitte, and A Farm at Mont Fere, by the same
artist, come back to our mind as amongst the
treasures of the show, and such a work as A View
on the Oise stamped itself on the memory as
representing Harpignies, the great master of still-
ness and untroubled scenes.
