STUDIO-TALK
brush of Mr, D, Y. Cameron, R,A. The
distinguished painter is a near neighbour
of the Scottish Highlands, and Ben
Cruachan is but one of many pictures he
has painted of the peaks which there
abound, but small as it is—the original is
very little larger than a page of this maga-
zine—it has an irresistible charm, 0
The President and Council of the Royal
Academy have announced their intention
of holding an exhibition of Decorative
Painting and Sculpture at Burlington
House in January and February, 1923. One
object of the exhibition will be to direct
attention to the important part which the
arts of painting and sculpture should take
in architectural schemes, by showing what
British artists can contribute to this end
when suitable opportunities are offered to
them, and another object is to suggest to
younger artists and students the great pos-
sibilities of these decorative arts for the
expression of the thoughts and feelings of
the community at each turning point in its
history. The hope is expressed that civic
authorities throughout the country will
take a prompt and practical interest in the
scheme of the exhibition, which will in-
clude works in painting, mosaic, tapestry
and sculpture for the permanent decora-
tion of buildings, as well as designs, car-
toons and models for such decorations, 0
To the man in the street the name of Mr,
F, Gregory Brown, R,B.A,, is familiar from
the numerous striking posters designed by
him for the London Underground Rail-
ways and leading business firms, and of
which several examples were reproduced as
illustrations to an article we published on
this phase of his work some little^while
