GLASGOW—EDINBURGH
GLASGOW.—The accompanying illus-
trations of wood-cuts in colour, From
the Barhill by Miss Chica Macnab, and
Shore Cottage by Miss Lesley Smith, are
from the blocks of two of the prominent
original members of the Society of Artist
Printers, Glasgow, whose exhibition is
bringing annually more collectively to light
many interesting works by Glasgow's
graphic artists. Amongst the other illustra-
tions thatof The Sweep,November Afternoon
is from a recent canvas by Miss Norah
Neilson-Gray, who must be included
amongst the notable women portrait
painters in Scotland, the inspiration to
paint a sweep being one that has long
interested her by their decorative appear-
ance when walking with their shouldered
brushes and sooty face amongst the Grey
City's modern streets. 0 m 0
La Grosse Horloge, Rouen, etching, is by
Mr. William Renison, who for a number
of years has made London his home ; he
is, however, a native and Freeman of the
City of Glasgow, where, entirely self-
taught, he first followed the alluring career
of an artist in oil and water-colour painting,
which he has now practically abandoned to
devote himself to etching. The Horloge
proof is a distinctly personal expression of
his spirited control over his etching imple-
ment and the fascinating acid bubbles on
the metal plate, attractive results of which
he shows in the majority of the principal
exhibitions, one of which gained him the
Salon Societe des Artistes Francais Diplo-
ma d'Honneur. 0000
Ju-Jitsu, which was exhibited in The
Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts, is a
unique example of wood sculpture, by one
of Glasgow's foremost sculptors, Mr.
Kellock Brown, R.B.S., who like his
brother, the late Mr. A. K. Brown, R.S.A.,
always takes a deep interest in things
pertaining to art in the city, where many
notable sculpturesque creations of his mind
and hands fill prominent positions. 0
