STUDIO-TALK
examples of work in this medium by
Brabazon, Conder, Mr. Augustus John,
Mr. Brangwyn, Mr. Clausen, and Albert
Moore, as well as a series of landscape
impressions of the Malvern district by
Mr. Leonard Richmond, whose pastel
work shows, we think, that this medium
is the one that suits him best. 0 0
The people of Brighton owe much to
Mr. H. D. Roberts, the enterprising
Director of the Public Art Gallery, where
since he took charge, some fourteen years
ago, many exhibitions of more than ordi-
nary interest have been held, culminating
in the very line collection of paintings and
drawings by Richard Wilson, R.A., be-
longing to Captain Ford, which have been
cn view during the past few weeks. What,
however, has distinguished Mr. Roberts's
tenure of the directorship has been his
broad-minded eclecticism; rightly believ-
ing that a change of artistic pabulum is
as necessary for our emotional natures
as a variation of diet is for our physical
well-being, he has on several occasions
looked beyond the shores of this country
for work to exhibit in the galleries under
his control, and his latest venture in this
direction is an exhibition of modern Dutch
paintings to be opened shortly. It will, it
is said, be the first exhibition of the kind
to be held in this country, and if, as we
presume will be the case, the paintings to
be shewn are those of living artists, this
statement must be accepted as true. It is
usual, of course, when speaking of the
Modern Dutch School, to think of the
stalwarts like Israels, the Maris Brothers,
Mauve, Mesdag, Bosboom and their con-
temporaries, whose work the London
public, at any rate, have had fairly ample
opportunities of seeing ; but, apart from
such names as those of Marius Bauer and
Louis Raemaekers, next to nothing is
known at first hand about the generation
that has succeeded them, although it com-
prises a number of painters whose work
certainly deserves to be known in England.
The contemporary Dutch School is, per-
haps, chiefly notable in the domain of
landscape-painting, but the great traditions
of portraiture and figure-painting are also
loyally upheld, and the school is not
lacking in capable marine painters. 0
