Studio: international art (48.1910)

Shidio-Talk

Of Mr. Taylor's technical accomplishments the
paintings here reproduced speak for themselves,
though the brilliance of the light effect in The
Duet needs colour to be fully appreciated. After
studying at the Royal Academy Schools Mr.
Taylor spent some time at Munich, where his
sense of the grotesque was developed amid an
atmosphere more congenial to new ideas in paint
than that of these more conservative shores.
Returning to London he met with little sympathy
from " selection committees " till the " no-jury "
exhibition at the Albert Hall gave him his
first opportunity to come before the British
public. He is but little over the legal age of
manhood, and his future career promises to be
full of interest.

The New Society of Water Colour Painters,
under the Presidency of Sir Wm. Eden, held their
exhibition at The New Dudley Galleries in
November. Including as it does such interesting
painters as Messrs. George Thomson, Frederic
caricature portrait by Horace taylor Catchpole, Tatton Winter, Fred Mayor, and

Arthur G. Bell, this Society bids fair to become
mannerism responsible for a certain streakiness, one of the most successful among the smaller

children, showed excel-
