BRITISH ART
A Splendid Exhibition
EPSTEIN AND AUGUSTUS JOHN
Tile collection of pictures by British artists, which Mrs. Alleyne Zander has placed on view at Farmer’s Blaxland Galleries, is intensely interesting and stimulating. It is definitely the most important exhibition of contemporary English work that has come to Australia.
Another eminent artist well represented is Richard Sickert. Time was when Sickert was considered appallingly subversive. Now he has been accepted into the Royal Academy, together with John, the two do much to instill life into that rather sombre institution. “Horses, Barnet Fair” is a particularly virile piece of work. It carries things through in forceful style, without bothering for a moment about conventional finish in detail.
