Studio- Talk
By the death of Sir George Reid, which took
place on February 10 at Hillylands, Oakhill, his
Somersetshire residence, British art has lost one of
its most distinguished representatives. Sir George
was known to the world chiefly as a painter of
portraits, which monopolised his attention almost
wholly during his later years, but he also displayed
rare gifts as a flower painter, and in the earlier part
of his career he achieved marked success in land-
scape. Sir George was President of the Royal
Scottish Academy from 1891 till 1902.
The "Landscape Exhibition," which has now
been held annually for fourteen years in succession
at the galleries of the Old Water-Colour Society,
this year contained pictures by only two of the
original exhibitors, Mr. James S. Hill and Mr.
Leslie Thomson. Among the invited exhibitors
Mr. Hughes-Stanton, although he had gone to
France for his subjects, was, perhaps, the one most
in tune with the precedents of the group, for he
receives his style from the school of Constable.
Mr. A. K. Brown's work is not so well known out
of Scotland as it should be, and with that of
another Scottish Academician, Mr. E. A. Walton,
formed a welcome addition to the exhibition.
The Ridley Art Club's twenty-seventh exhibition
held at the Grafton Galleries for a week in February
was very attractive. There is no rule against the
exhibition of works previously exhibited elsewhere,
and its absence affords many a welcome opportunity
of renewing acquaintance with pictures which we
probably should under other circumstances never
see for a second time. In addition much interest-
ing and original work on a small scale appears un-
pretentiously at the Ridley.
Exhibitions which have defined themselves as
events of the month include the collection of
etchings by Rembrandt and his contemporaries at
Mr. Gutekunst's, and the modern etchings,>'em-
bracing the work of Affleck, Bejot, Strang, and
E. M. Synge, at Messrs. ConnelPs gallery.
VIENNA.—The Winter Exhibition at the
Kiinstlerhaus contained fewer works
than usual, owing to the fact that part
of the " house " was reserved for collec-
tive exhibition of the works of two of her ancient
members in celebration of the centenary of their
birth. These were Josef Hasselwander and Carl
Rahl. The former was an artist who concerned
