[THE BEAUX ARTS GALLERY, BRUTON PLACE.]
MR. BERNARD LEACH is one of the pottery pundits, and Ws show of stoneware pottery at the Beaux Arts Gallery is a clear demonstration of how good his work is. Although born in the East, and learning his art in Japan, he does not follow in any slavish fashion the masters of the Eastern schools. His work shows a decisive individuality, and his taste is faultless. This exhibition contains over a hundred and twenty catalogued pieces and a hundred uncatalogued pots, so there is variety and to spare. His Slipwarc Dishes in yellow and brown, with animal designs, are attractive, especially the one with Flying Horses. A two-handled jar with flattened sides and a chestnut brown glaze (No. 25) is a good example of something new in both form and colour. No one interested in pottery should miss seeing Mr. Leach's work.
At the same gallery are exhibited oil paintings by Mr. Alan Walton, a member of the London Group. The artist is working on a definite scheme of colour values, with varying success. Some of his work has an unfinished appearance, but his Suffolk Trees, The Diving Raft, and Walberswick Ferry
