Studio- Talk
gratifying evidence of the value of artistic
co-operation in industrial enterprises.
Our illustrations this month also include a
Communion service in silver executed for the
cathedral in Nagpur, India, by the Artificers'
Guild, and a brilliant example of painting by
Mr. P. A. de Laszlo, in whose portrait of J. P.
Morgan, Esq., our readers see a characteristic
likeness of a generous friend of art and a whole-
hearted supporter of the cause which our nation
is fighting for.
The restricted space which the abnormal
circumstances of the times compel us to be
content with permits only a brief reference to the
various exhibitions held in London this season.
Neither at the Royal Society of British Artists
nor at the Royal Institute of Painters in Water
Colours have any great surprises awaited the
visitor to the spring exhibitions of these bodies.
The former body, it is true, have been favoured
this year with a contribution from their presi-
dent, Mr. Frank Brangwyn, whose large picture,
A Venetian Palace, though not one of his best
in point of colour, possesses those qualities of
breadth and energy which are instinctive with
him ; but with this exception and a few others
the display as a whole must be described as
quite " ordinary,” though smaller and certainly
better arranged than usual. And much the
same must be said of the collection of water-
colours at the Royal Institute, where amidst
abundant evidences of sound technical manipu-
lation there is little sign of any deviation from
ideals to which this society tenaciously adheres.
At the French Gallery in Pall Mall a fine col-
lection, representing some of the best phases of
modern British, French, Dutch, and Belgian art,
has been brought together in aid of the French
Red Cross Hospital. At the Leicester Galleries
the memory of that remarkable French artist
Henri Joseph Harpignies has been honoured by
a well-chosen collection of his works in oil,
water-colour, and charcoal, including a few
CROSS, CANDLESTICKS, AND CHALICES FOR NAGPUR CATHEDRAL, INDIA. DESIGNED BY EDWARD SPENCER (UPPER
PART OF CROSS BY J. H. M. BONNER) AND EXECUTED BY C. MOXEY AND F. JOBE (ARTIFICERS’ GUILD)
