unconvincing. Mr. Dickey, however, made
an excellent impression as an artist with
correct aims and an unaffected manner of
expressing himself. About his sincerity
there can be no question : his closeness of
observation and his precision of handling
can be heartily commended, and there is
well-marked character in his work. At the
Leicester Galleries was also exhibited the
head by Mr. Epstein, which is illustrated
here as a typical example of his effort.
Other shows of real importance were held
in the galleries of the Fine Art Society,
where Mr. Bertram Priestman exhibited
a number of very attractive landscape
sketches in oil and water-colour; Mr.
Fred Hall some capably treated landscapes
and farm life studies ; and Mr. Georg
Jensen a fascinating collection of pieces of
silversmith’s work, finely original in design
and brilliantly accomplished in craftsman-
ship. A permanent exhibition of this
artist’s work is to be seen at 56, Maddox
Street. 0 0 0 0 0 0
It would be difficult to find a piece of
decoration more perfectly adjusted and
more sensitive both in line arrangement
and colour management than the Japanese
fan which is reproduced here as a colour
Pissarro, Mr. J. F. Greenwood, and Mr.
Eric Gill, in particular, can be instanced
as representing various legitimate applica-
tions of the art and as achievements of
great interest. Another wood engraver,
Mr. Allan Seaby, showed an admirable
collection of his wood-block colour prints
in the gallery of Messrs. Bromhead, Cutts
and Co., a collection distinguished not
only by its excellent management of
technical processes, but also by its per-
vading rightness of decorative feeling
and its revelation of the artist’s sureness
as a draughtsman and sensitiveness as a
colourist. 00000
Some drawings and paintings by Vincent
Van Gogh and a number of pictures by
Mr. E. M. O’R. Dickey, have been on
view at the Leicester Galleries. Among
the works by Van Gogh there were a few
which gave some hint of the power with
which he has been credited by his followers,
but as a whole the show was certainly
