before everything, at present, a virtuoso; his skill
is amazing. But one cannot help feeling that, with
his fine sense of colour, his best work will be
reserved until he is content to dispense with some
of the more sensational features of his style. He
attains to much beauty in some of his still-life
pieces, such as Roses in a Silver Urn.

in his work seems to be that of Mr. Nicholson.

his garden pictures, so

“LA JARDIN DE l’ALCAZAR” BY GASTON LA TOUCHE
(Socie/e de la Peinture cl V Eau, Paris)
At the Leicester Gallery in February there was
an exhibition of Mr. A. W. Rich’s water-colours.
Few water-colourists of to-day have so fine a sense
of composition, and but for a temptation to over-
sweetness and artificiality^ in colour, sometimes,
Mr. Rich’s art would be a successful continuation
of the restrained and simple management of water-
colour which characterised the old English school.
In these days when some re-
action from faith in realism
is apparent, no artist pre-
sents so well as Mr. A. D.
Peppercorn the phase of
beauty with which that faith
rests. This is particularly
so in his water-colours,
which, together with some
of his oil paintings, formed
a recent exhibition at the
Leicester Gallery. Mr.
Frank Bramley, A.R.A., ex-
hibiting at the same time
and place, employs the
realist’s method without
perfect loyalty to nature in
effect. His very charming
execution, however, gives
a great deal of attractive-
ness to his results.
PARIS.—Among the innumerable and often
very mediocre exhibitions of the Paris
season, one of the most interesting was
that of the Societe de la Peinture a
l’Eau (in the galleries of Chaine and Simonson)
under the presidency of Gaston La Touche. This
year again it offered to the public a collection
of works of the highest interest. It would seem as
