THE IMPERIAL GALT:FRY OF ART, ImPERIAL INSTITUTE. ..
At the delightful gallery in the Imperial Institute there are paintings, drawings, engravings and sculpture by artists from Great Britain and the Dominions. This is the second exhibition of Empire Art to be held there, and it speaks well for the advisory committee that they have got together a fairly representative collection within the limits of two hundred and five works. English artists, both young and old, are represented, Canada, the Irish Free State, India, and New Zealand contribute, but South Africa's and, Australia's contributions have not yet arrived. The first portion of the gallery contains the water-colours, engravingS, and drawings which, on the whole, are the pick of the exhil. bition. One need only mention names like W. R. Sicked, Muirhead Bone, William Rothenstein, Professor Tonks, Paul, Nash, Wilson Steer and A. K. Lawrence, to give an idea of what is there. Ireland's best work is Mr. Grace Henry's! Gossips in Connemara, while Blizzard by Mr. Cullen, and Winter in the Laurentiatts by Mr. Coburn, show the bad an the good side of the Canadian winter. Mr. Sickest becom cheerful in his painting entitled Nude, and Mr. Mark Gertler. more animated in his Dutch Doll. Among the Indian pictures Krishna Leela stands out by reason of its beautiful design. This exhibition will stay open until June 30th, and though, as in the case of Tipperary, it's a long way to the Imperial1 Institute, those who go there will be rewarded by seeing
a delightful collection of pictures and sculpture.
