[THE MODERN ENGLISH WATER-COLOUR SOCIETY, ST. GEORGE'S GALLERY.] rLUS is
the seventh annual exhibition of the Modern English Water-Colour Society, and among the sixty odd paintings exhibited there is plenty to interest and please all, except perhaps those to whom the word "modern" is anathema. First mention must go to Mr. John Nash for his two delightful picture& House's on the Canal and Sidney Gardens, Bath. 'Both are nicely 'designed and 'the delicacy of the former would be difficult to surpass. Mr. Frank Dobson's Studies, with a limited .amount of colour, are pre-eminently studies for sculpture, but the colour is applied with masterly effect. Mr. Jacob Epstein's, two drawings are also sculptural, but are uncoloured drawings pure and simple. Young Girl;- by R. Eurich, is an amusing and simply painted work, not unlike a coloured woodcut at first glance. Houses in-Spain and. On the Road to Saint Paul both show that Mr. F. J. Porter knows how to pick his subject and. to paint it. The catalogue does not disclose the identity of Portrait by. Eileen Agar, and one can only hope that the, sitter was not dissatisfied with the likeness she has produced. Other pictures which stand out are Mr. Ginner's realistic Snme, Maresco Pearce's pen and ink drawing of Piccadilly Circus, and Miss Pauline Konody's Still Life. Whoever sees this exhibition together with the. Royal Institute's and Royal. Society's shows can be said to have tested the gamut of water-colour emotions. ,
