Studio- Talk
On the Cotswolds, by Mr. Arthur J. Gaskin ; Beauty
and the Beast, by Mr. John D. Batten; Mockery,
by Mr. R. Anning Bell; Study in Frescoe, by Miss
Mary Sargant Florence ; A Dew Pond in Cotswold,
by Mr. Maxwell Armfield, and the designs of
Sir Charles Holroyd and Mr. Sydney Lee, amongst
others.
Perhaps the most interesting exhibition which
the Fine Art Society has held for some time is
that of the Society of Country Painters. We found
plenty of fresh and characteristic effort in this exhi-
bition, and in many cases that better side of an
artist's talent which the exhibition "pitch" excludes.
The following are the members of this society :
Frank Bramley, A.R.A., Arnesby Brown, A.R.A.,
T. C. Gotch, M. Greiffenhagen, W. Ayerst Ingram,
Francis James, A.R.W.S., Frank Kelsey, Moffat
Lindner, Hugh L. N orris, James Paterson, R.W.S.,
Adrian Stokes, and H. S. Tuke, A.R.A.
Mr. W. Russell Flint, who has also exhibited at
the Fine Art Society, is happier, we think, in his
figure subjects than in his landscapes, the former
having a more personal character in their technique.
The exhibition was a very successful representation
of the artist's facility, many of the drawings being
most attractive and finished in style.
A critic has taken exception to the work shown
at the Old Dudley Society as amateurish. But
those who produce that kind of work will exhibit
somewhere, and it must be said that it is the best
of this element that we get in the exhibitions
of this society, which has always contained many
very gifted painters. And the latter have not
decreased in number under Mr. Burleigh Briihl's
presidency.
EDINBURGH.—One is apt to lose sight of
the fact that the Royal Scottish Society
of Painters in Water Colours is a national
body and not a West Country Institu-
tion, through its headquarters being in Glasgow
and its annual exhibitions being almost exclusively
held there. Occasionally, however, the society
comes to Edinburgh, and after the lapse of a decade
Edinburgh has again been selected as the place
