GLASGOW—DUBLIN
" THE DRESS-DESIGNER "
BY JOHN D. REVEL
illustration may indicate, using at times
the brush with the acid and again achieving
a " soft ground " effect of peculiar attrac-
tiveness. An exhibition of the artist's
work in each medium and in oil is being
held in Glasgow this month. It will
assuredly add to the admirers of a worker
in the arts whom to know, in person or
through his pictures, is a privilege and a
pleasure. Robins Millar.
We reproduce this month two recent
paintings by Mr. John Revel, now
Director of the Glasgow School of Art,
and previously Head Master of the Chelsea
School of Art. a a a a
Mr. Revel's work is well known in
London exhibitions, he being a member
of the International Society, the Royal
Portrait Society, and the Royal Institute
of Oil Painters. During the last twelve
years Mr. Revel has brought the Chelsea
School of Art into prominence as a school
of illustration and painting, and his ex-
perience as a teacher and an artist should
enable him to be of great service to the
Glasgow School. a > ei 0
DUBLIN.—The amount of superb
work which Mr, Harry Clarke has
recently produced and upon which he is
at present engaged is evidence of an
imaginative industry which can only be
compared to that displayed by Mr. Frank
164
Brangwyn in another sphere of decoration.
Mr. Clarke is now working on sixteen
large windows for the Church of St. Mary
at Ballinrobe, four for St. Hilaire in Jersey,
twelve for St. Mary's Church at Belcamp,
Raheny, and five for Cloughjordan. The
designs for all these have been completed
and he has also done a great deal of the
glass. He hopes to have all these windows
in place within the coming year. Portion
of the window illustrating Keats's " St.
Agnes' Eve," which he recently made for
Mr. Harold Jacobs's residence is here
illustrated. It is executed in the technique
which Mr. Clarke has made peculiarly
his own—superimposed panels of different
coloured glass, flashed and stained to pro-
duce an effect of microscopic delicacy and
darling richness of hue. It won for him
the gold medal of the Aanoch Tailteann.
Mr. Clarke has also in hand an illustrated
edition of Goethe's " Faust," which will be
published next autumn. Those who have
seen some of the completed drawings con-
sider that it will prove even finer than
anything he has done in the way of illus-
tration in the past. T. B.
