CHELTENHAM
CHELTENHAM.—We have now in
Cheltenham the first collected exhibi-
tion of works by members of the artists'
colony at St. Ives, which has ever been
arranged in a public gallery. It presents
an interesting range of sound work,
chiefly in sea-scapes and local Cornish
scenery. Mr. Moffat Lindner contributes
four. A Wild Night, reproduced here, is
not quite characteristic of his manner.
Golden Autumn, also on view, is more true
to type; and two small water-colour
landscapes show the delicacy of vision
and presentment which mark his best
work. Mr. Olsson sends a moonlight
sea-scape in his well-known manner and
—interesting as a new departure—Sunset
on the Cornish Coast. Mr. Algernon
Talmage shows five paintings. Winter
Pastures, a group of cattle scantily gracing
on snow-flecked grass and under a grey
sky, is executed with the bold brushwork
of a practised hand. Mr. Borlase Smart's
Atlantic Cliffs (reproduced here) is boldly
rendered. Mr. J. A. Park's When the
Boats are in bears on the frame " Mention
Honorable," and differs from the above
by introducing the human element in
St. Ives life—by proxy, as it were. The
boats predominate. Mr. Charles Simp-
son's St. Ives Herring Season : loading fish
on the quay is pictorially conceived, and
executed with the rhythmic vigour which
suggests the strenuous daily toil of the
fisher-folk. 0 a a a a
Each one of the dozen etchings by Mr-
Alfred Hartley, R.E., is a choice specimen
of that well-known artist's work, 0 0
The exhibits of Leach Pottery are worthy
examples of the production of one of the
few present-day potters whose work is
always sound and distinguished. 0 0
