THE CAMPDEN HILL CLUB. WALKER'S GALLERY.
FORTY-FIVE members have contributed works of art to this, the tenth exhibition of the Campden Hill Club, and their versatility is impressive. Among the hundred and six exhibits most people will be able to find something to please them, as the styles range from Miss Brickdale's Pre-Raphaelite exactriess to Mrs. Nicholson's very modem methods.
The President, Sir George Clausen, contributes three pictures, and in his Elm Trees he is seen at his best. There are several large landscapes, and of these A Welsh Valley by Miss Gledstanes, Wild Tyme Farm by Miss Codrington, and Above Birling Gap, by Dacres Adams, stand out by reason of the strength of their treatment. Trees, by Stefani Fisher, and Winter Morning, Sospel, by Borough Johnson, are two other pleasant pictures, but their appeal is due to delicacy of tone. Miss Audrey Weber has caught the sunlight and colour of Andalucia, but a flatness in her work somewhat neutralizes her pleasant brightness. Mrs. Nicholson's Flowers and Miss Pauline Konody's-Roses, very opposite in treatment, are the pick of the flower studies. Among other pictures which will remain in the memory are Nliss Anna Zhikeisen's nude Study, Miss Pauline Konody's Still Life, Miss Hastings' Kensington Gardens, and Miss Brickdale's The Legend of Our Lady and the Lavender.
Miss Tatham's amusing poster advertising the exhibition should encourage people who hire pictures to visit this show, and those who go cannot but be pleased that they have done so. G. G.
