Studio: international art (73.1918)

Studio- Talk

Exhibition held at the Leicester Galleries last
month, his contribution consisting of more than
a dozen prints, chiefly reminiscences of military
operations in France and Flanders during the
critical autumn months of 1914. This- was the
first exhibition of the club to be held under the
presidency of Mr. Frank Brangwyn, who was
elected to succeed Mr. Joseph Pennell shortly
before the opening of the exhibition. The new
president was represented by a couple of prints,
one, At the Furnace, characteristic of his more
forceful dramatic style, and the other, Shepherd,
and Shepherdesses, an engaging expression of
idyllic sentiment. Notable work was con-
tributed by Mr. Charles Shannon, A.R.A., who
recently joined the club ; Miss Ethel Gabain,
Mr. John Copley, Monsieur Emile Claus, Mr.
Nevinson, Mr. Oliver Hall, Mr. Claude Shepper-
son, and other members, and, as on the previous
occasion, the interest of the show was strength-
ened by representative examples of lithographic

draughtsmanship by eminent BritislTand French
artists, now deceased, and a few by Forain.

Space will not permit of more than a brief
reference to the various " individual" exhibi-
tions which have been held in London recently
other than any which have already been noted.
Among the most notable were two at the
Leicester Galleries, one comprising an interest-
ing group of paintings by Mrs. Laura Knight
of camp scenes and seaside pictures, the latter
including some very charming effects of colour,
and the other a series of vigorous war drawings
by Lieut. Will Dyson, official artist with the Aus-
tralian Force on the Western Front. Mention
should also be made of an interesting exhibition
of pencil drawings by Mr. Albany Howarth, the
etcher, at Messrs. Dowdeswell's galleries. This
month Mr. Hall Thorpe, R.B.A., is holding an
exhibition of his work at the Kensington Fine Art
Society's gallery, Alfred Place, South Kensington.
