" LE PUY." WATER-COLOUR
BY MARTIN HARD IE, R.E.
Mr. W. B. Paterson's gallery, where Mrs.
Bess Norriss showed a number of clever
miniatures and some capable water-colour
paintings. 0 a o a a
Messrs. Agnew's Gallery has been occu-
pied by a collection of paintings gathered
together by a new association, the Mag-
nasco Society, which interests itself in the
art of the seventeenth and eighteenth cen-
turies. The works shown were mostly of
very indifferent quality, and the society can
hardly be said to have justified its existence.
At the Redfern Gallery Mr. George Charl-
ton held an exhibition of water-colours and
drawings which had the merit of being
sincere in intention and by no means in-
capable in handling ; and at the Greatorex
Galleries Mr. C. B. Prescott showed some
pleasant water-colours which had much
charm of colour and freshness of effect.
In the Leicester Galleries there was a
memorial exhibition of oil paintings and
water-colours by the late T. Austen Brown,
which gave an admirable impression of his
336
power and originality; and there were on
view also some paintings and drawings by
Mr. Lucien Pissarro, and some paintings,
drawings and pieces of sculpture by Mr.
E. H. Kennington. A characteristic
example of his work in sculpture is
illustrated here. a a a a
Mr. W. Rothenstein's Einstein drawing,
reproduced in this number, gives an excel-
lent idea of the quality of his practice in
this type of portraiture ; it is interesting
technically, and it is distinguished by
shrewd observation of character. Mr.
Martin Hardie's two water-colours have a
delightful freshness of statement and real
individuality of manner ; and Mr. Suther-
land's etchings are handled with much sense
of style and with a considerable degree of
executive confidence. The bust by Mr.
Doyle Jones represents adequately a sculp-
tor of well-trained capacity, and the Still
Life by Mr. Ivon Brooks—from his recent
exhibition at the St. George's Gallery—ex-
presses pleasantly the artist's point of view.
