monotony, as the current exhibition at the
Society's galleries clearly proves. a

At the Goupil Gallery, on the other
hand, the collection of paintings brought
together to form the twelfth of the series
of salons inaugurated sixteen years ago,
is of a decidedly heterogeneous character,
and intentionally so, as the principal aim
of the proprietors in instituting this
annual display was to assemble the works
of artists of various tendencies. In the
present display this diversity is perhaps
more marked than on any previous occa-
sion, and tendencies of which there was
barely a hint in 1906 are abundantly
manifest; yet great as are the differences
presented between the works of those
who represent the newer tendencies and
those of the artists who have contributed
regularly to these exhibitions in the past,
these differences are, save in a few cases,
not productive of any violent discord.
In all not far short of 200 artists are
represented in this collection, and the
number includes not a few French
painters, living or deceased — notably
Courbet, Sisley, Camille Pissarro, Gaugin,
Maurice Denis, Felix Vallotton, Jules
Flandrin, Le Sidaner, Lebasque, Lebourg,

Degas, Renoir, and Forain. Notable
contributions from the British contingent
include an admirable example of still-
life painting by Mr. Brangwyn ; a very
fine portrait study, Romilly John, by
Mr. Henry Lamb ; two animated race-
course scenes by Sir John Lavery ; some
subtle studies of coast landscape by
Mr. Wilson Steer ; vivacious indoor and
outdoor scenes by Mrs. Laura Knight; a
nude study and still-life by Mr. Mark
Gertler ; engaging floral studies by Mr.
George Sheringham and Mr. Davis
Richter, and of mountain scenery by
