STUDIO-TALK

“ THE TWO SAILS.” BY
D. M. SUTHERLAND

Miss Eva Savory, who is showing a
collection of her flower pieces in water-
colour at the Gieves Gallery in Old Bond
Street this month, has gained her pro-
ficiency in this branch of art without
regular training. Her work has hitherto
been seen only at the smaller picture ex-
hibitions in London and elsewhere and
at the Horticultural Society’s shows, when
on two occasions—in 1920 and 1921—it
gained for her the Banksian Silver Medal,
rarely awarded to flower paintings. 0
The Burlington Gallery,formerly located
in Green Street, Leicester Square, has been
transferred to No. 7, Newman Street,
Oxford Street, where more commodious
quarters have been found. 000

EDINBURGH.— Though the second
annual exhibition by the Edinburgh
Group of eight of the younger artists held
in the New Gallery marked no outstanding
advance in method of expression over that
of a year ago, it yet contained much to
command sympathetic interest. There were
altogether 79 exhibits, eighteen of which
consisted of applied art contributed by
Miss Mary Newberry. The pictures were
mainly hung on the group system, which
has become a feature of exhibitions in the
New Gallery. Mr. A. R. Sturrock’s con-
tributions of landscapes included a dramati-
cally phrased picture of a hillside in
brilliant sunshine with heavy clouds and
a simply designed view of open country.
