Studio: international art (62.1914)

Studio-Talk

familiar to visitors to
London exhibitions, more
especially those of the
Royal Institute of Painters
in Water-Colour, of which
he is a member. The print
we reproduce as a supple-
ment is a capital example
of his work in another
branch of art. The print
was produced from a single
block and subsequently
tinted to the effect desired.

Mr. Whydale, of whose
art as an etcher we re-
produce four examples, is
an artist in that he ex-
presses a personal view in
a medium whose limita-
tions he recognises and
observes. His problem
has been that of all true
etchers, namely, to suggest

"the ploughman's team." from an etching by b. iif.kiif.k-i' whydale the manifold planes and

colours of Nature by

at the Goupil Gallery in Regent Street, and in means of line. Another quality in his work which
common with other statuettes reveal a peculiarly is worth noting is its independence of tricky
refined sense of form and
decoration. Statuettes
such as those illustrated,
in which the precious
metals are employed,
represent of course a very
luxurious form of art, but
most of the figures ex-
hibited were in bronze,
and there was also one in
gilded and painted wood.
The artist is Italian by
birth, but studied at the
Ecole des Beaux-Arts in
Paris and has regularly
exhibited at the Salon ot
the Artistes Francais since
1901. His bronzes have
been purchased by the
Musee du Luxembourg,
Paris, the Musee dArt at
Lyons and the National
Gallery, Rome.
