LIVERPOOL
LIVERPOOL.—What is the connection
between women painters and the world
of animals s’ Of those women who have
risen to fame in art (’gainst fearful odds in
the imminent deadly breach of high-walled
prejudice, convention and other terrors)
animal painters have been noticeable since
the days of Rosa Bonheur. 000
Miss Dorothy Adamson is a Liverpool
artist still in the '* twenties ” with the world
of art and of animal study before her. Like
the majority of able painters of the North,
she has left that land of commerce and
resides at Bushey. 0 0 0 0
The intense vigour of her work has
already gained it attention in several
London exhibitions, and the power of her
brush is not her only asset. She has a
knowledge of the muscular modelling and
skin textures of her subjects which is
outstanding. Her colour sense is also
conspicuous. 00000
In The Lumber Team and The Hill
Top vivacity, values, and an inspirit-
ing love of the animals which form the
artist’s metier are apparent. Altogether one
detects a new recruit to the ranks of power-
ful present day feminine painters. 0
Nowhere in the country is the need for
professional unity between all members of
the various branches of art profession
more apparent than in the commercially
minded cities of the North. 0 0
Speaking broadly, there are two ways in
which the art worker may bring himself
and his work into prominence in such
communities. He may convince the layman
that he, whether as architect, craftsman,
sculptor or painter, belongs to a dignified
and united profession, a profession worthy
of the respect of people not deeply versed
in a great subject; or he may exhibit
himself as a pushing and pertinacious
tradesman. 00000
