THE LONDON SALON
too, is steadily becoming more interesting ;
but Mr. Ginner has, as yet, hardly fulfilled the
promise of his early work. The delicate
sensibility and fine scholarship which M.
Lucien Pissarro chooses to conceal beneath a
presentment of almost exaggerated modesty
will escape no one whose eyes have not been
blinded by the flush of fashionable vulgarity,
of which, happily, there is very little here.
The London Salon is no place for those who
are, or who hope to become, portrait-makers
at " a thousand " a head.
All the creditable work to be found in this
exhibition is not to be mentioned in one article.
The pictures by Miss Helen Saunders, painted
surely under the influence of Mr. Etchells ;
The Omnibus, by Mr. Adeney ; the works of
Mrs. Louise Pichard, Mr. Malcolm Drummond,
Mr. J. B. Yeats, and Mr. W. B. C. Burnet ;
that rather pretentious piece, Les Deux Amies,
by Madame Renee Finch and The ; Cot, a
charming little picture by Mrs. Ogilvie all
deserve more attention than any overworked
critic is likely to give them. They are, for
the most part, accomplished paintings that
provoke no doubts and no outrageous hopes.
