CHRISTCHURCH ARTIST ADDRESSES PENWOMEN “MODERN ART; ITS RELATION TO LIFE AND CONDUCT” The new rooms of the League of New Zealand Penwomen were bright and . cheerful on Friday afternoon with spring flowers and bright sunshine, and there was a large attendance of members. The, president, Mrs. Cluett. was in the chair and introduced the speaker of the afternoon, Mr. Hipwell, an artjst from Christchurch, who has taken up his residence among us. His subject was “Modern Art and its Relatipn to Life and Conduct,” a large subject, well dealth with. The speaker traced the history of art from the Stone Age to modern days. The tendency of art at the present time is to simplify everything—furniture, dress, pictures and pottery. He told how to look for something more than mere superficial beauty in any work of art—something that showed character. Mr. Hipwell gave as his considered opinion that in no age had art been so beautiful as in the time of the Dutch School and he instanced the picture, “The Dutch Girl.” by Van Deeft as one of the finest pictures ever painted. He urged all thinking people to use their influence to further simpler, quieter works of art and to get away from glaring lights, violent posters and loud colours. These affect adversely the characters of the young people, as well as their taste. The president thanked Mr. Hipwell for his interesting talk .and afternoon tea brought to a close a most enjoyable afternoon.
