he went to Paris and worked at Julian’s, the latter
year seeing his first picture on the line at the Royal
Academy. Four years later his snow-picture,
Winter’s Sleep, was purchased under the terms of
the Chantrey Bequest, and is now in the Tate
Gallery. It is somewhat similar in method to the
one here produced, The Valley Sentinels, which
was exhibited on the line at the Royal Academy.
This picture is particularly characteristic, as it was
as a snow painter that Mr. Adams first achieved
distinction, and he has since followed up these
themes in a lengthy study in Switzerland. Another
picture, markedly typical of the qualities which
characterise the artist’s work, is one purchased by
the Worcester Corporation for their Art Gallery,
Winter in the Malvern Hills.
Mr. George Sheringham’s recent exhibition, at
the Ryder Gallery, of a series of panels painted on
silk, based on motives from “ The Mabinogion,”
showed decisively how his remarkable decorative
capacities are developing and maturing. In these
examples there had been added to the dainty
exquisiteness of design by which his work has
always been distinguished, a largeness of feeling
and a breadth of effect which must be accounted to
have widened very appreciably the scope of his art.
He showed in them, too, higher qualities of
imagination than he has ever displayed before and
an even surer grasp of great decorative essentials.
In the fans and smaller decorative paintings which
he exhibited with these panels the same enlarging
of his outlook and development of his powers of
expression were apparent : from the first he has
ranked as an artist of exceptional gifts, but
year by year he is making more sure his position
among the most accomplished of the painters who
have devoted themselves to the working out of
subtle problems of design and to the imaginative
treatment of decoration.
PARIS.—Gouache, that admirable medium
which the eighteenth - century masters
carried to so high a degree of perfection,
seems to have been greatly neglected by
contemporary artists. Many, it is true, work in
gouache, but very few there are who appreciate all
the resources of this wonderful technique. M.
