tuge.

Tho etchings Of tho English artist,
Edmund Blampied, are rot new 60 the
galleries. In current exhibition at
the Kennedy gallery ne has both etch-
ings and drawings. The latter acquaint
ono with q fresh and spontaneous as
pect Of his art. His etchings fire.
quently reveal forced technical traits
which are not apparent in his simple,
straightforward and expressive work
in crayon. There are some vigorous
and powerful sketches Of laboring types
and horses with which he was familiar
on his native isle Of Jersey. The
crayon portrait Of the old woman in
"Reading" Is simple and true. In gem
eral these drawings are obvious
sketches in preparation for his etchings.
They contrast strongly, however, with
such etchings IS his plate, "Coms on,
Boys" wherein an effort to polish
up" is pronounced detraction. Sew
eral finished crayon compositions in
color include "The Morning Bath" and
"Vraic Gatherers.'
