satisfying pattern which sufficiently fulfils
its space-filling purpose and yet is not too
formal or inflexible. Each of these paintings
is distinguished by individuality of ex-
pression and sincerity of conviction and by
judicious avoidance of a merely empty
convention. Mr. Cayley Robinson’s water-
colour The Long Journey, which he is
contributing to the winter exhibition of
the Royal Society of Painters in Water-
Colours, is entirely characteristic of an
artist who has always followed in his art a
direction of his own choosing and who
has been exceptionally consistent in his
attainment; and the two caricatures by
Sava show admirably how much suggestion
of character is possible without elaboration
of detail or the use of any but the simplest
technical devices. 0000

for amateurs than it used to be. The con-
tributions of artists like Mr. Burleigh
Bruhl, Mr. Hanslip Fletcher, Mr. J.
Littlejohns, Mr. Kenneth Hobson, Mr.
Tatton Winter, Mr. H. C. Jarvis, and Mr.
Maclver Grierson, gave much significance
to its exhibition. Mr. H. A. Wight’s
monotypes in colour, at the Greatorex
Galleries, must be noted as very charming
fantasies, conceived with dainty originality
and most skilfully executed; and the
collection of pottery produced by Messrs.
Carter, Stabler and Adams, and exhibited
at the Beaux-Arts Gallery, claims con-
sideration as a display of examples of well-
applied design which have high merit as
decorative achievements. 000
The decorative paintings by Mr. Anning
Bell and Miss Jessie Bayes, which are
reproduced here, are particularly inter-
esting as illustrations of different types of
pictorial design ; they show by what
various means it is possible to arrive at a
