work. Mr. Kenneth Hobson's manner of
dealing with water-colour is of a different
order, careful, delicate, and precise ; his
study, The Colosseum, is, however, as
attractive in its scholarly restraint as
Mr. Watson's painting is in its masterly
confidence, and it represents well a young
artist of much promise who has a real
regard for wholesome tradition. Mr.
Hobson's work is at present showing
at the Cotswold Gallery. Mr. J. H.
Dowd's poster design, Take them to
the Zoo, is welcome for its effectiveness
and originality; it has amply the first
qualification of the good poster, the power
to arrest attention, and there is in it a
pleasant touch of humour that cannot fail
to make it popular. The etching, On the
River, by Mr. Lewis Baumer, deserves to
be noted, not only because it is a very
agreeable piece of work but also because
it is a departure from the artist's more
familiar line of practice. Mr. Otto
Greiner's portrait is not only a brilliant
piece of characterisation but also an
example of the best treatment of litho-
graphy, a a 0 a a
IPSWICH.—We reproduce two water-
colour drawings by Mr. G. R. Rushton,
who recently held a very successful one-
man show at the Fine Art Society's
Galleries. From this exhibition a drawing
was purchased by the Birmingham Art
Gallery, and the Royal Birmingham
Society of Artists (of which Mr. Rushton
has just been made a full member)
requested that twelve works should be
sent on for their spring exhibition. The
Ipswich Art Gallery has also, from time
to time, purchased examples of his
work in water-colour. Besides water-
colours, Mr. Rushton's work includes a
considerable amount of mural painting
on a large scale, and examples of his
practice in this kind are to be seen
at Oxford, Southampton, Blackpool,
Slough, Ipswich and other places. The
mural paintings are done on a ground
specially prepared by Mr. Rushton, which
gives the " wall matt " surface best suited
to this class of work. He is a frequent
exhibitor at the Royal Academy, and a
regular contributor to the exhibitions of
the R.B.A., of which he is a member. 0
