ISLE OF MAN—DERBY—NEWLYN
ISLE OF MAN. — In the minds of most
i people the Isle of Man is chiefly associ-
ated with holiday-making (not to mention
Sir Hall Caine), and its popularity as a
resort remains undiminished. One of the
sources of that popularity, namely, the
magnificent scenery in which the Isle
abounds, makes it very natural that an
artist with a predilection for landscape
work should take up his abode there, and
this, in fact, is what Mr. Archibald Knox
has done. a a a a 0
Mr. Knox has occupied the post of art-
master in several parts of the country,
and devotes himself mainly to water-colour.
An exhibition of his work was held last
year at the Whitechapel Art Gallery. 0
He has been greatly influenced by
natural beauty, and has aimed at recording
in the water-colour medium a vivid im-
pression thereof under different aspects of
light and varying atmospheric conditions,
with what success the reader can form
some idea from the accompanying repro-
ductions. His work is marked by good
composition and a sure feeling for colour.

afield for subjects, let him emulate Mr.
Townsend, who has here simply chosen to
depict aspects of his house at Derby, and
by pleasing arrangement and sympathetic
treatment of light and shade has evolved
works of art. Both these pictures were

years ago. 00000
