design is ordinarily regulated, and his work
has in consequence a welcome degree of
freshness. The results he has attained
fully justify his independence and suggest
that there is much scope for originality in
dealing with stained glass without inter-
fering with its purely practical purpose.
The enamels by Miss Lucy Pierce illus-
trate the qualities of effective simplicity,
austerity and restraint that may be ac-
quired by a study of the problems of
decorative design. Besides the two minia-
tures here reproduced, seen at the Panton
Club, she showed with the Society of
Women Artists an enamel brooch which
has the advantage in point of utility. The
sketches in charcoal and wash exhibited
by Miss Pierce with the Society of Women
Artists and the Women's International
Art Club have an entirely different quality
—that of good impressionism—and it is
hard to believe that they come from the

line. The etching reproduced is a char-
acteristic example of his work, and was
shown recently at Messrs. Connell's Gal-

given for a sincere and practical effort to
encourage the development of an art of
great antiquity and honourable traditions.

sufficiently exacting undertakings. 0
Mr. W. G. de Glenn's picture, The
Bather, from his exhibition at the Goupil
Gallery, represents well an artist who has
very definite gifts as a painter of portraits
and figure subjects. He is a graceful
draughtsman and a skilful executant, and
for some years past his work has developed
steadily in power and significance. He
ranks to-day among the ablest men of the
younger school who have had the courage
to maintain the older tradition and to
revivify it with a judicious infusion of the
modern spirit. 000a
