Two exhibitions in which the honours lie with
women artists were those of “The Englishwoman ”
at the Central Hall, Westminster, and the delight-
ful Allies’ Doll Show at the Grafton Galleries in
aid of L’GSuvre du Vetement des Soldats Beiges.
At the Central Hall were to be seen examples of
craftwork by many artists whose work is familiar,
such as the basket work of Miss H. Palmer, simple
and pleasing pottery by Miss Frances Richards,
lettering and illumination by Miss Phoebe Rennell,
enamelled glassware by Miss N. Casella, book-
bindings by Miss M. Marshall, jewellery etc. by
the Misses Isaac, and some admirable jewellery
also by Miss Bassett, at the stall of Mrs. Gordon
James. We noticed, too, some fine needlework by
Miss Layton, and many examples of leatherwork,
weaving, embroidery, toys etc. by clever women
artists. The show at the Grafton Galleries com-
prised a multitude of beautifully dressed dolls,
by various donors, including an exhibit of some
dressed by H.I.H. Princess Clementine Napoleon.
There were also a number of delightful panoramas,
of which Spring in Flanders was particularly
beautiful with its landscape background by Emile
Claus and coloured plaster figures by Victor Rous-
seau. Another, in a charming dtcor, was the
garden scene by M. and Mme. Andre Cluysenaar ;
and yet another showed the Carnival of Binche,
arranged by Fernand Verhaegen.
M. Maurice Asselin, in his work as exhibited at
the Carfax Gallery, shows himself in sympathy to
some extent with Cezanne, and it is welcome as a
sound and interesting exposition of the new move-
ment in art. Best of all we liked his figures of
sempstresses bending so intently over their work ;
but regarding these and other works we cannot
better the remarks of Mr. Walter Sickert in his
introduction to the catalogue where he says of
M. Asselin that “ having something to say, he
disdains to be irrelevant.”
Peculiar interest attaches to an exhibition which
Messrs. Brown and Phillips are about to hold
