ENGLISH APPLIED ART IN GERMANY
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—It is far less widely known than it should be that, owing to the initiative of the Design and Industries Association, and without any Government support or encouragement, there is a section of English modern applied art at the European Exhibition of Arts and Crafts at the Neues Grassi -Museum. at Leipzig.
The Exhibition remains open until September 10th, and those who are interested in applied art would find it worth their while .to visit Leipzig some time during the. summer.. The other countries represented, apart from England and Germany, are Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Holland, Austria, Switzerland and Czechoslovakia.
The Exhibition is essentially modern ; there is nothing on view that has not been made since 1918. In the English section there are 116 exhibitors, the largest groups being pottery and textiles. Curiously enough, the exhibit that interested the Germans most was that of the delightful gloves shown by Messrs. D. Power & Sons, Ltd.
For further particulars, anyone interested should write to the Design and Industries Association, 6 Queen Square, W.C. 1.—I am, Sir, &c.,
WINIFEIDE WRENCH.
