lectualism ” has been trying to take the field of art
with a succession of impossible theories. It is
painters who can communicate what they have to
say in their picture, instead of in the catalogue,
who will save the situation. Mr. Seabrooke, whose
beautiful Wetherlam from Neaum Crag we are
reproducing in colour, is an artist who has not
been afraid of his instincts, and whose works
communicate feeling. He recently held an ex-
hibition of his work at the Carfax Gallery, to
which we made allusion at the time.

The spring exhibition at the Royal Institute of
Painters in Water-Colours, which remains open
until the end of May, contains a prodigious num-
ber of works in every style, making it, as usual,
impossible to do anything more, in the space at our
disposal, than indicate some of the pictures which
strengthen the exhibition—an exhibition, we may
add, which could always be made stronger than it
is by more selective hanging. The following

were noticeable contributions: Autumn in Glen
Conan, Ross-shire, by Mr. Ernest E. Briggs; The
Temple of Hymen, by Mr. Geoffrey Strahan ; Off to
Trafalgar, by Mr. A. D. Cormick ; The Sea’s Way,
by Mr. Norman Wilkinson ; The Dead Sea Bird,
by Mr. William Rainey ; The Petition, by Sir James
D. Linton; Near Teignmouth, by Mr. W. Egginton ;
Lewes from Swanborough, by Mr. Gerald Acker-
man ; A Bowl of Roses, by Mr. Oswald Moser;
Spate on the River Lyon, by Mr. McCulloch
Robertson ; James Bigg, by Mr. Frank Gillett; The
Greeting, by Mr. W. Hatherell; The Forecourt,
Villa Badia, by Mr. George S. Elgood; The
Dawn— Venice, by Mr. Moffat Lindner ; and some
works by the late J. Aumonier, R.I.

The Society of Graver-Printers in Colour have
been holding at Messrs. Manzi, Joyant and Co.’s
galleries an exhibition of monochrome prints.
The president, Mr. Theodore Roussel, Mr. T.
