GLASGOW—MELBOURNE
GLASGOW.—Scotland has few painters
more distinguished in their special
outlook than Archibald Kay, A.R.S.A.,
R.S.W., a lover of Scottish life and charac-
ter and of the romance and poetry asso-
ciated with the Highlands. The Glens in
calm and torrential spate have few more
appealing delineators. I hear the water
roaring down towards the wintry sea, being
the title of his last year’s Royal Glasgow
Institute canvas, rings true in its pictorial
reality; as does his The Storm in the Pass
of Leny, in the permanent collection of the
Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, and it is
certainly one of the outstanding charac-
teristically personal examples of Highland
landscape in that Gallery, while his The
Rhymers' Glen, here illustrated, is attrac-
tively typical of the subjects which so
strongly appeal to Mr. Kay's love of hill
lands and mountain burns. In recounting
the little incidents which creep into a life
of keen observation of its humorous side,
as well as its sorrowful, he is an artist too,
but to hear some of those, you must have a
hill cottage, a pipe and the fire, and the
rain splashing outside. E. A. T.

MELBOURNE.—The Australian Art
Association has recently closed one of
the most successful exhibitions in their
record. 000000
Portraiture and landscape reached a
very high level—much higher than has
been ever before recorded. The President,
Mr. W. Beckwith Mclnnes had a very
telling portrait of Jas. Dyer, Esq.—rich,
well composed and dignified. His portrait
of Mrs. Mclnnes was good in rich colour
qualities. The same could be said of the
opulent Amber Necklace, by Charles
Wheeler, D.C.M., a large canvas showing
remarkable technical command in the fine
texture painting. His Self Portrait was a
remarkable rendering of flesh painting. 0
Mr. W. D. Knox’s landscape work, as
usual,was greatly to be commended, though
at times the tendency is to be rather super-
ficial. 0 /TJ 0 0 0 0
Mr. Victor Zelman, a comparatively
newcomer, had work which was unequal,
and, at times poor. Leslie Wilkie in figure
work and Penleigh Boyd in landscape
showed creditably. 0000
Miss Ball’s flower painting and Mr. C.
Web-Gilbert's bronzes were attractive. J.S.
