Studio- Talk
In Gallery i there is an exhibit of special
interest to the citizens of Winnipeg, consisting of
draw ings, paintings, and designs by the students
of the Winnipeg School of Art, which, including
the works which were successful in gaining Scholar-
ships and Bursaries tenable in the session 1914-15,
represent the results of the first session, for the
school was opened on September 2, 1913, in
direct connection with the Art Gallery. The
Principal is Mr. Alec J. Musgrove, who came over
from Glasgow to take up the position.
The Winnipeg Museum of Fine Arts was in-
augurated this year to meet the growing demand
for aesthetic education on the part of the citizens,
and since its opening, has placed on view good
exhibitions, thereby affording opportunities to see
the work of many notable artists. Already the
nucleus of a permanent collection has been formed
and this is being added to from the various ex-
hibitions by purchase and by presentation. The
Galleries are open daily, free, and the attendance
is large. So great was the appreciation shown by
the public that the Committee decided to open
the proposed school at once, with the result that a
year after the opening of the Gallery, the school
commenced its first session.
MELBOURNE.—Mr. Will Ashton, an
Australian artist who recently returned
from an extended European trip, has
just had a very successful exhibition
of his work at the Guild Hall. Most of the work
has been done in Paris and Venice and is
remarkable for its eminently sane outlook, while
being fine in tone and colour. Mr. Ashton's
latest productions as exhibited at the Paris Salon
and elsewhere seem to promise him a high place
in the history of art work by Australians. Among
his Italian pictures special mention should be
made of No. 1 Santa Maria delta Salute, and the
Ponte alle Grazil, Hirer Arrw, Florence, and among
the Dutch pictures the fine Rotterdam so full of
movement and life. The Evening Seascape,
Tintagel, Cornwall shows the quieter side of Mr.
Ashton's art.
Mr. Clewin Harcourt, a well-known Paris Salon
exhibitor, has been showing some fine work at
the " Centreway." His capabilities as a portrait
