support to the exhibition. The absence of work
from Mr. Frank Brangwyn, A.R.A., was to be felt.
There were some interesting book-plates by Mr.
George W. Eve among the exhibits.
In her exhibition last month at the Leicester
Galleries, Signorina Ciardi confirmed the success
she met with at the same galleries two or three
years ago. The dominant note in her art is its
brilliancy, and in subject she excels in that romantic
treatment of eighteenth-century themes which found
such delightful expression in her Parole Antiche
(Words of Old) of the Venice Exhibition of 1907.
The exhibition at the Leicester Galleries contained
a number of works in this vein, besides the two now
reproduced, as well as some interesjing examples of
other kinds of landscape ; and among some smaller
sketches were several reminiscences of her last visit
to London.
The seventh exhibition of the Modern Society
of Portrait Painters, which is open at the Royal
Institute Galleries in Piccadilly until the end of
March, presents conventionally executed portraits
side by side with portraiture which relies upon
daring innovations. This gives a very compre-
hensive character to the exhibition. It is the
innovators, however, in the present show who do
the most for its success. Three of the most
interesting painters of to-day are Mr. G. W.
Lambert, Mr. Gerald Festus Kelly, and Mr. Glyn
Philpot. The work of these artists gives distinc-
tion to the display of the Modern Society. On the
present occasion they are mainly supported by Mr.
W. B. E. Rankin, Mr. Fiddes Watt, Mr. Alfred
Hayward, and Mr. Alexander Jamieson.
At the Carfax Gallery Prof. C. J. Holmes held
an exhibition of paintings in February. Prof.
Holmes often imperils the daring simplicity of his
drawing and his sensitiveness to nature in certain
moods by the mere prettiness of his colour-effects.
This is all the more noticeable from the fact that
wherever the artist is not primarily bent upon
