five members, amongst them being Mr. Dermod
O'Brien, President of the Royal Hibernian
Academy, Mr. Jack Yeats, Miss Rose Barton,
R.W.S., Mr. Bingham MacGuiness, R.H.A.,
Mr. George Atkinson, A.R.H.A., Miss M. K.

Mr. R. C. Orpen, R.H.A., Mrs. Jane Inglis, Miss
Dorothy Fitzgerald, and Mr. Oswald Reeves,
A.R.C.A. The rapid growth of the Society during
the past year is evidence of the need that existed
for some link between the black and white artists
in Ireland, and the interest aroused by the two
exhibitions it has held in Mill's Hall, Merrion Row,
sufficiently justifies the efforts of those who have
co-operated in the establishment of this addition
to the relatively small number of art societies which
Ireland possesses, and augurs well for its future
career. With few exceptions the members are
resident in Ireland, and as a consequence Irish
motives figure prominently in the work executed
by them in various mediums. The Emerald Isle,
indeed, offers a fine and varied field of exploration
to artists in search of interesting themes, and
it is a matter of regret that comparatively few on
the other side of the Irish Sea turn their steps
hitherwards when the sketching season comes
round.
The Dublin Sketching Club, one of the oldest
of Irish exhibiting societies, held its fortieth ex-
hibition from November 16 to December 12. As
in former years, landscape studies of Irish scenery
formed the major part of the exhibition, amongst
the younger painters who showed interesting work
in this genre being Miss Kathleen Fox, Miss A. E.
Constable, and Mr. Crampton Walker. The last-
named, whose work bears traces of the influence
of Mr. Nathaniel Hone, was at his best in The
Shower, showing a stretch of land and sea
immersed in mist. Amongst the other painters
represented were Mr. John Glover, whose Herring
Boats showed a vital and dexterous brush, Mr.
Henry Moss, Miss Josephine Carson, excellent in
her series of Dublin sketches, Mr. Alfred Grey,
R.H.A., Mr. Gerald Wakeman, and Dr. E. W.
Yeates. E. I).
