Mr. East has been called poet
painter, and it is true that a lyric
quality creeps into most of his work. He
is, however, a devoted student of nature

to produce an effect one must be con-

have learned ones lesson by heart and

Rights of an Artist.
Kesnly sensitive to the beauty of ma
ture. he still recognizes the prerogatives
Of art. THE artist he says. has every
right to take his material from nature,
as the shipbu:lder takes his iron from
the earth, bending and fashioning it to
suit his own purpose. He must have suf-
ficient confidence to remove rivers and
mountains. and plant trees where he feels
they ought to he. IL is an interesting
experiment to see landscape from an
artists viewpoint. and compare it with
photograph. The photographer gives us
nature as il appears in the camera, but
the artist expresses nature as II appeals
to his SOUL
Herein, to large extent. lies tie dis
tinctive quality OF Mr.. East's work. His
compositions are not haphaZard, but de-
Hberate. He does not hesitate to move a
tree or turn stream from its direct
cOurse-he believes that il is the artist $
privilege TO complement the intention of
nature. But IL should not be supposed
that in large things this painter takes
unwOnted liberty. While simplifying and
rearranging his compositions his effort
is invariably to interpret with the utmost
truth the spirit of nature. His studies
are made in the open and with painstak-

His first commission came when he was
little more than ten years Of age. and
was to enlarge some drawings of pre-
historic beasts for a geological lecturer

the schoolmaster. Recalling this Incl

fathers consent he studied art at Glas-

The young ladies whipped up their
horse and tried to get away from him

their screams.
Dogs were sent from the county
