“THE GREEN, RICHMOND”
istic lines. His work suggests contemplation,
refinement, character ; it makes for itself a position
in any company. In the work under review, the
composition, the play of light on the sloping green,
under the old Castle wall, on the red-tiled roofs,
on the roadway in front of the Inn, the massed,
low-toned architecture silhouetted against the grey-
like Yorkshire sky, are unmistakably convincing.
It would serve small purpose to enumerate the
many other interesting pictures in an exhibition
worthy of careful attention. It must suffice to say
that in the Water-Colour room there are two
characteristic studies of feathered life by Joseph
Crawhall, separated by a drawing of rare sensitive-
ness and charm by the late H. S. Hopwood, R. W.S.,
that inspires regret at death’s lack of discrimination.
There is clever work by Mr. A. B. M'Kechnie,
R.S.W., by Mr. JohnKeppie, F.R.I.B.A., who also
has been honoured by the Corporation selecting
one of his pictures, by Mr. R. B. Nisbet, R.S.A.,
and two capital drawings of trench warfare in
France by Mr. E. A. Taylor.

The black-and-white section, for the first time
in sympathetic environment, is distinguished by
etchings contributed by Mr. D. Y. Cameron, A.R. A.,
Mr. Muirhead Bone, Mr. James M’Bey, and others.
Then there are some book-plate illustrations by Mr.
Munro S. Orr, a war drawing in charcoal by Mr. Jack
Orr, and an etched “ Roll of Honour ” by Mr. J.
Hamilton McKenzie, R.S.W., A.R.E., displaying
the arms and emblems of the constituent countries
of the British Empire and those of its allies.
In the Sculpture Gallery the feature is examples
of Serbian art by Ivan Mestrovid, and there is
bronze and other sculpture by Mr. Kellock Brown,
Mr. John Tweed, Mr. F. Derwent Wood, A.R.A.,
Mr. Percy Portsmouth, A.R.S.A., Mr. Alex. Proud-
foot, and Mr. James Gray.
The exhibition as a whole is a striking repudia-
tion of the assertion that our national virility has
become decadent, and should give way to the
ruthless march of relentless force that is con-
temptuously intolerant of art, of honour, and of
peace. J. Taylor.
