The New English Art Club
“THE GRANVILLE”
“PARIS, PAST AND PRESENT’’
For the artist Paris has always had a peculiar
fascination, attracting thousands of painters,
etchers, and other lovers of the beautiful from all
parts of the world. In spite of changes brought
about by the natural development and evolution
of civilisation, evidences of its glorious history and
present greatness still abound on all sides. In
view of the momentous crisis through which the
French nation is passing, the Editor has deemed it
an opportune moment to place before his readers a
record of the architectural and topographical
beauties of Paris, wherein will be reproduced water-
colour drawings, pastels, etchings, &c., of its river,
bridges, quaysides, churches, public buildings and
monuments, old streets and ancient houses, by the
many distinguished artists whose finest efforts have
been inspired by the charm and romance of the
French capital. Most of these works will be
presented as full-page plates, some of them in
colours. The volume, which will form the Special
Autumn Number of The Studio, is now in course
of preparation, and will be ready for publication
early in the coming Autumn.

THE NEW ENGLISH ART
CLUB’S FIFTY-THIRD EXHI-
BITION.
To the exhibitions of the New English Art Club
we always look for an assemblage of works accepted
and hung with a certain catholicity of taste, and,
speaking broadly, the pictures there to be seen,
diverse in their manner of treatment and perhaps
not always entirely congenial in outlook, at any rate
furnish evidence of personal view-points in art, and
of a striving after self-expression, in the main un-
trammelled by considerations which lie properly
outside the scope of the painter and draughtsman.
We have noticed of late, however, in these exhi-
bitions a certain sprinkling of works leading one
to suppose that some of those whose pictures are
accepted satisfy themselves with imitating, and that
not invariably with complete success, the acceptable
works of one or two of the established members of
the New English. A case in point was furnished,
at the exhibition now under discussion, by several
examples of water-colour which, bearing consider-
able resemblance to the landscape drawings of that
purist in the medium, Mr. A. W. Rich, proclaimed
