Studio- Talk
The usual “one-man”
room illustrates Burmah as
seen by that sensitive ob-
server, Gerald Festus Kelly.
His sixty-five pictures, in
combination with some
carved and gilded chests
which he brought back, have
a charming effect. The pic-
turesque girl-dancers and
pagodas of Burmah are Mr.
Kelly’s favourite motives, but
there are other subjects in
sufficient number to prevent
any feeling of monotony in a
collection which attests his
rare qualities as observer and
painter. _
The Black-and-White room
presents a comprehensive
view of what is being pro-
duced by the best workers on
copper, zinc and stone. The
“one-man” plan is followed
here also, the artist this year
being James McBey, who is
represented by twenty-eight
of his best plates. Associated
with this section are cases
OIL PAINTING BY ARTHUR RACKHAM, R.W.S.
The Belgian section is a serious attempt, as
compared with exhibitions earlier in the year, to
illustrate modern Flemish art. From exhibitions
at Brighton, Oxford, Cardiff, Birmingham, and
London Mr. Dibdin secured the most desirable
items. These being limited to works brought to or
produced in this country by refugee artists, did not
adequatelyillustrate modernBelgian art5, so they have
been supplemented by extensive borrowings from
private owners of examples of such artists as Alfred
and Josef Stevens, H. Leys, Josef L. Dyckmans,
Willem Geets, Henriette Ronner, Herman Richir,
Emile Claus, A. J. Heymans, Emile Wauters,
P. J. Clays, and C. Meunier. Sculpture is
adequately illustrated ; there is a satisfactory repre-
sentation of the work of
Belgian etchers and litho-
graphers, and the display of
medals has been enriched by
Mr. M. H.Spielmann’s collec-
tion, which includes the
Cathedral series by Jacques
Wiener.
containing modern keramics, metal work, jewellery,
the ingenious “ plychrome ” statuettes of E. Carter
Preston (a Liverpool artist), and other “ craft ” pro-
ductions which lend agreeable colour-notes to
enhance the general effect. Here also on one of
the screens is a striking group of twenty-five colour-
notes made at the front, taken from the sketch-
book of Captain Finlay MacKinnon.
The seven galleries occupied by the general
section of the exhibition are well stocked with
notable pictures chosen from the London and
Edinburgh exhibitions, and other sources, as well
as a good deal that is new. The local school,
though not at present especially strong, contributes
