. BRUCE HORSFALL. lately elected presi-
~ dent Of the Landscape Club. has been
connected for some years with the illustration
department Of Nature Magazine. His drawings
and paintings of wild life are extremely accu-
rate and skillful. Especially notable are his
paintings of birds, rendered with scientific
knowledge and extraordinary accuracy and care.
1t Is interesting to note, however. that Mr. Hors-
fall can at pleasure completely alter his style,
painting with a breadth and subtlety that is
surprising. For example, in his studio in the
building occupied by Nature Magazine, he has
q painting in oils Of a snow storm, an effect
seen from the window of his house in the glow
of a street lamp. None Of the modernists has
done anything simpler or more suggestive
There is indeed q subtlety in this painting
which recalls the works of Twachtman and
simplicity which recalls those of the great
japanese school Of print-makers. Mr. Horsfall
with his colleague, Garnet Jex. made a trip
through the foothills of the Alleghenes last
Fall and brought back with him Q number OF
landscape studies of exceptional interest ana
