ana II Is the pest example OF MS Ici1la4 haSAS
technique which has been exhibited in London.
Loud, garish and almost insolent as is the
style, the execution is brilliant and the figures
are fascinating in their picturesque quality, al
though without charm Of color. M. Hermen
Anglada's work is also vigorous; NJ Garrido,
who IS either a Spaniard an Italian by birth,
has effective picture in the balcony where
manv of the gems OF the collection are found.
Professor Stick, of Munich; Professor Klinger.
Of Plagnitz, and Professor Idebermann of Ber-
lin. among the German contributors. There
is old picture Of Amsterdam by Matthew
Maris-a lovely example Of Dutch art, which
cannot be exhibited too often. American art is
represented by three Whisters, three portraits
by Mr.. w. NJ. Chase. Mr.. Joseph Pennells
charcoal drawings Of scenes in Toledo and other
works. Two Of the Whistlers. Valparaiso and
symphony IN White" have often been exhibit
ed and are subtle and refined examples of his
art The other IS unfnished-"Rose ct Or; La
Tulpe"-with a woman in delicate rose dra-
peries standing with her hands casped behind
her and her face turned aside. The background
is rose toned with purple, making, with the
draperies a subtle, harmonious blend OF color.
The portrait in its unfinished state. has promise
OF exceptional charm. Mr.. Chase's portraits
and sketches are admirable in tone and quality.
Among the foreign exhibitors. a Danish painter,
out q WOTQ. he paints interiors WITH Ola Idsn~
Toned Dutch simplicity and homely directness.
The Scotch painters consider the international
as their academy, and are strongly represented.
Sir James Guthrie has one Of the best pictures
in the exhibition. It is a portrait Of a child,
Miss jamie Martin. holding a big hat with
feathers at her side. There are blends of reds
and browns in the color scheme; the brushwork
Is firm and decisive; the pose of the little figure
is most attractive; and the painters methods
are artfuIly concealed the results attesting his
mastery Of his business. Mr.. John Lavery has
First Communion" OF remarkable delicacy,
and a Lady in Pink with draperies managed
with refinement Of line and tone. Mr.: William
Strang has a quaint but mastery picture
1.-THE Mother"-which reproduces some Of the
best traditions Of French painting. and fairly
pulsates with tender feeling. 1t is painted with
vigor and homely sincerity, has the clear cut
hrmness Of an etching and is a delightful COM
position. Mr. Z. a. Walton has one two
cellent pictures, but the Scotch landscape paint
are not we'll represented. English art is
conspicuous by its absence from the exhibition
Mr.. J. J. Shannon Is OF the honorary mem
bers. but has not sent anything to the New
Gallery; and the other Academicians and Assoc
ciates have withheld their patronage. Not even
the New English Art Club, with MIR. Orpen, Mr..
Couder and Mr.. Rothenstein as its leading
with Scotch and Continental work Mr.. c. II
Shannon and Mr.. Robert Brough have portraits.
and Mr.. Bertram Priestman and Mr.. ~ D. Pep
percorn have landscapes There is no trace OF
academic influence in any OF these interesting
galleries.
The South Gallery. where the black and white
work is exhibited with a few water colors and
pasteIs. is one OF the best features The late
F6lician ROps's varied talents are illustrated
by etchings, Autographs and color drawings
and NJ. Legrand's aquatints are conspicuous on
the walls. There is interesting series OF
wood en6ravings by Timothy Cole. There are
charcoal drawings by Mr.. Joseph Penneu, Mr.
+ J. Sullivan and Mr. Frank AIura; stchings
by II. Chaline, Mr.. Frank Duveneclz, Mr.. Theo-
dore Roussel, Professor F1inger and others;
drawings by Mr.. Phil May; designs by Mr.
Aiming Bell, illustrations by Mr.. Hartwiot;
pastels by " Simon Busy. Mr. Henry Muir
man. NJ. Luigini and Mrs Sutro, and n small
group OF water colors. There is pleasing va
rIety Of representative work In this room. and
the collection win be closely studied by Illus
traitors. The exhibition, as n whole, made
quately represents both Continental and Eng
fish art, but it IS full OF individuality and force.
and hardly fan to exert an invigorating tn
huence. Academicians may sheer at It as a
Job lot Of the worst and most violent French
and Spanish art; and certainly the work of
many Of the best men the Continent is not
seen, but creative impulses are to be felt in
these galleries, and that is something IN these
stagnant days NJ. Robins genius IS fully APP
preciated. he has been most cordially welcomed
by painters and scuIptors and has confessed at
the banquet given to him that he feels entirely
at home and among friends in London.
