of colour, and also for the decorative
quality which they markedly possess.
They are broad and direct and simply
stated, but the best of them—for instance,
the Marigold, Le Bouquet du Vrai et du Beau,
and Cheerful August—are complete exer-
cises in which the artist’s intention has
been fully realised. In the Arlington Gallery
Mr. John Gordon Cluysenaar, a member
of a Belgian family of artists, showed a
score of pieces of sculpture that had
considerable distinction of style and much
soundness of accomplishment. He is not
a follower of any of the modern fads but
a serious student of facts and a craftsman
who bases himself on a rational tradition,
and there are in his work qualities which
justify high expectations for his future.
Signor Alfredo Vaccari’s paintings,
shown in the galleries of Messrs. Brom-
head, Cutts, and Co., can be welcomed as
the work of an artist who has much acute-
ness of observation and a thorough com-
mand over his materials. He paints open
air subjects with great vivacity and an
210
attractive freshness and luminosity of
colour and he draws animals with admir-
able understanding. His methods are
robust but they are well under control, 0
The etching, The Coffee Mill, by
Mr. Johnstone Baird is an interesting
example of the work of an etcher who
knows well the capacities of his medium
and applies them with more than ordinary
skill; and the portrait, Gonosoki Kornai,
by Mr. A. J. C. Bryce, is a sound study of
character ably handled. 000
The two bookbindings in tooled leather,
which we illustrate, by E. D.Goggs of the
Central School of Arts and Crafts, are
evidence of the high standard attained by
the school, and are creditable to all con-
cerned. The designs are spirited in
conception, with distinctively individual
qualities, and are executed with a confident
grasp of technical resources and limitations.
There is a pleasing individual character
apparent in the work of Miss Sybil Dunlop
which is rarely met with in modern
jewellery. She has sound ideas, and
