are at the Knoedler Gallery, are workmanlike pro
ductions Though they have little quality In color

being badly Photographic. Downstairs the Ameri-

Mr. Abbey's advice 10 American art students, TO
choose London rather than Paris as the place in
which seek painters training does not meet
with much approval among Engshmen. One critic
observes that "at the Academy, or South Ken
sington there is at best only scrappy kind OF
teaching to be obtained: and there are not enough
intelgentIy conducted places, like Professor Her
komer's school. at Bushey, TO accommodate any
large number of students" Another commentator
tells Mr. Abbey that even his fellow Academicians
are almost unanimous In their condemnation of
the methods that prevail in the Academy
schools and their desire for immediate reform. AS
TO the other London art schools, even 70 South
Kensngton, they either founded upon French
methods or their most eminent teachers for
eigners One thing the Academy does do is 10 drive
its more able pupils abroad to learn their trade.
No doubt an influx of Americans would be good
for the Academy, but it would be bad for Ameri-
cans"
Public art works in England continue to invite
the ribad comment of the scorner. Witness the
disgust that is expressed the stamps.
Here is what of the wisest Of the critics Mr..
d. S MacColI. writing in The Saturday Review"
has say on the subject:

together while the officials exchanged

The reception lasted about half an
hour, when the French officials with
drew to make a round of calls on mem
