the artist—the medallion is not a machine
reduction from a larger work but was
struck from a steel die engraved by hand
by the artist himself. It is, therefore, an
illustration of Mr. Bowcher's belief in the
value of a working process which at the
present time is not generally used, but by
which the best kind of results can be
attained. a a a a a
Interesting examples of the work of
Mr. Mark Gertler are to be seen in the
Goupil Gallery (Messrs. William Mar chant
and Co.). His studies in figure and still-life
have shown a steady increase in interest
and value. The accompanying illustration
is from a recent exhibition. 0 0 0

One of the modern craftsmen whose
work is worthy of serious consideration is
Mr. Richard Garbe. The examples of his
sculpture which we now reproduce are, as
usual, in conformity with the best traditions
of British art.
The two pieces of small sculpture from
the Academy Exhibition, which are illus-
trated here, claim attention because they
have qualities much above the average.
They are both especially successful in
their expression of character, vigorously
but without exaggeration, and in technical
treatment they are soundly directed. The
bronze head of R, P. Gossop, Esq. by Mr.
Onslow Whiting has a decisiveness of
modelling and a significance of form state-
ment which can be sincerely commended,
and its firmness of construction is tho-
roughly satisfying ; moreover, its honest
but not commonplace realism carries com-
plete conviction. Mr. Frank Bowcher’s
medallion portrait, in bronze and silver,
of Mr, M. H. Spielmann is not less con-
vincing as an exercise in portraiture and is
as sound in accomplishment: it has an
additional interest as a piece of craftsman-
ship because of the method employed by
