An exhibition Of Illuminated work by
Ernest Clegg is now on view at the Art
Center Building. Mr.. Clegg recently did
an illustrated edition of John MacCrae's
war poem "In Flanders Fields" Bishop
William T. Manning wrote the introduce
tion, which was reproduced in the origi-
nal colors OF Mr.. Cleggs illustrations
at the printing plant of William Edwin
Rudge in Mount Vernon. This book is
included in the exhibition, which repre-
sents the first assemblage since 1914
of Mr.. Cleggs work, his artistic career
having been interrupted by the great
war, throughout the whole OF which he
served with the British forces, attaining
the rank OF Major and being severely
wounded. While on leave in 1916 he
was in the naval fight Of Jutland on the
battleship Revenge.
The craftsmanship OF the medieval
penmen was one of the most fascinating
Of arts. Mr.. Clegg has taken the great
masters Of that epoch as his inspiration
and has endeavored to revive and revi-
talize their beautiful work. He has
sought also that flowing grace in hand
lettering, executed entirely with reed
and quill, which characterized the illu-
minated manuscripts of those romantic
days. His raised gold work is of un-
usual interest, being in q sense the re-
discovery of secret that passed away
with the illuninators OF the missals and
breviaries of old. 1t is worthy OF note
that Mr.. Clegg Is said to be the first
to Introduce to this country the individ-
ual Illuminated marriage service. His
work on heraidic designs reveals some
exceptionally fine effects.
