Studio: international art (88.1924)

colour mass. So far, in most of the work
seen, the Japanese methods appear to
be those most closely followed, and there
is still room for the visionary as well as
the imaginative artist to discover that
water, Indian ink, rice paste, and powdered
colours, is not the only combined medium
by which the art can be beautifully
expressed, and from Miss Garrow, with
her technical gift and symbolistic con-
ception, we may look forward to some
further uncommonly treated attractive
results. E.A.T.

EDINBURGH.—Mr. Patrick W. Adam,
R.S.A., is invariably fortunate in
his selection of interiors, and, as a painter
of such, has few artist equals in Scotland
who achieve similar artistic attainments
in similar subjects. Illustrations of some
of those which have attracted Mr. Adam
will be found in The Studio, August,
1913, with an interesting appreciation
of his work by Mr. A. Stodart Walker.
The accompanying reproduction of his
Exeter Cathedral was painted about a
year ago and shown in the recent Royal
Academy, and is now by special invitation
one of his exhibits in The Royal Glasgow
Institute of Fine Arts.

" THE GUNNER." BY ALEX-
ANDER CARRICK, A.R.S.A.

PATRICK W. ADAM, R.S.A.

The Gunner, by Alexander Carrick,
A.R.S.A., is by one of Scotland's most
interesting younger sculptors, and is an
impression of his observations as a gunner
during the war. Originally trained as
a stone carver, he has great sympathy for,
and understanding of, the association of
sculpture with architecture, and in col-
laboration with architects has designed
and executed many notable works, especi-
ally of an ecclesiastical and monumental
character. In his numerous figure groups
for war memorials, his knowledge and
technique as a carver gives to his work
a distinction which carries on the best
traditions of his art, throughout which
there is strong evidence notable of an
earnest study of the model, but his natural
feeling for line, form, and composition
prevents him from being a slavish copyist.
And it is refreshing to find him reaching
out beyond that which is but the outcome
of expert modellers, and creating sculpture
works which are more in their attractive
results than merely picturesque. E.A.T.
