Studic-Talk
In the domain of landscape genre Mr. W. S.
MacGeorge is exuberant in colour and happy in
the child figures in his June Woodland picture,
and Mr. Gemmell Hutchison realises sunshine and
motion in Bleaching. The most important imagina-
tive work is Mr. A. E. Borthwick’s Dawn. A boat
in which is seated a saintly old man is being drawn
against a contrary wind to a haven of light and
peace by three angel figures. The symbolism is
sympathetically and artistically realised. Mr. John
Duncan exhibits a decorative Tristan and Isolde,
the princess shown in the act of giving Tristan the
love-potion. Animal-painting is well represented
by two pictures of lionesses by Wm. Walls and
three large works by Mr. George Smith, two of
them groups of horses at a ford in North Uist and
the third a smithy interior.
The water-colours, in addition to loan work by
Israels and Joseph Crawhall and a group of
Algerian studies by Mile. Morstadt, embrace a
large Deeside landscape of excellent tone and
colour by Mr. James Cadenhead, a robustly painted
Border raid led by Wat O’Harden by Mr. Thomas
Scott, a broadly and sympathetically realised
evening landscape by Mr. R. B. Nisbet, a decora-
tively treated drawing of three women beside a
bowl of goldfish by Mr. James Paterson, a well-
designed mother and child by Miss Cecile Walton,
and a suggestive piece of symbolism in The Immut-
able by Mr. Robert T. Rose. A banner of the
Royal Arms with the Scottish quarterings, intended
for the hall of the Church of Scotland General
Assembly, by Mrs. Nell Drew, is a beautiful piece
of needlework on a background of plum-coloured
Syrian silk. A. E.
DRESDEN.—The Exhibition of Women
Artists recently held at Dresden was by
