ART DISPLAY
ATTRACTION AT EXHIBITION. MASTERTON SKETCH CLUB PROMINENT. Since opening to the visiting public last Saturday, the exhibition of sketches, arranged by the Wellington Sketch Club at the Exhibition, has proved increasingly popular. Some thousands of visitors have made a point of seeing the display and the secretary of the club, Mr Stanley Edwards, has expressed his satisfaction with the interest the exhibition is creating-. Another aspect of the showing is the part taken in it by the Masterton Sketch Club. The sketches are well displayed and include work by many well-known artists as well as a fair representation of the work of less experienced men and women. The majority are landscapes and seascapes, but still-life and portraiture are well represented and the standard is remarkably high considering that no selection committee was appointed and that all works submitted have been displayed.
Among the pictures exhibited are “The Beach Hat” by Stella Bruce, a convincing portrait; Carl T. Laugesen has several sketches on display including “Deviation, Bowen Street", “Poi Dance" and “The Silver Gleam, Wellington Harbour"; "originality of treatment characterises the water colours by N. Bolton and I. Bowie; and G. Gould MacQuarrie has several pictures exhibited, among them an imposing oil study entitled “Camping in Blue Mountains.”
In the still-life section Kathleen Salmon’s “Mixed Flowers” is an interesting study, and other flower pieces that merit attention are “A Mixed Bowl” by Edith Boyes, “Geraniums” by L. Cockerill, “Rhododendrons” by E. Ramsay and “Anemone” by M. Duff. Mrs A. E. Boyes received an award for her display of miniatures of flowers. The presentation was made by Lady Galway.
