ART CLUB EXHIBITION
What To Seek In The Pictures
(By LUIS CHEN)
In view of the forthcoming Exhibition of the Hong Kong Art Club, I may venture with diffidence to deal with the question of what qualities to seek in a alcture; by which I hope reader's will benefit in gaining knowledge in conjunction with their enjoyment of the Exhibition. Last year I dealt fully with the different groups of painters and defined their attitudes towards Nature; I will now deal with the different qualities of pictorial representation. There are four distinct qualities to seek in pictorial Art, name- ly. Unity, Vitality, Infiulty and Repose; and any work of Art must- necessarily possess all or some of these qualities, though some may possess one of them in a dominant degree,

The reason why, the public tends to ap- preciate a smoothly or elaborately finished picture in preference to a vitally tackled or seemingly un- finished one is that It assesses too highly in the first type the elabor- ate finish, which helps to disguise any fault that may be present; whereas in the latter all that is BOSTON BULL thoroughbrei.com to appreciate this quality as expressed is exposed, emphatically the League of Nations after the peppy 5 months, an exception-I will explain fully hereafter.

Infinity is a quality which cannot be so readily explained in words: but which is easily perceived in a picture in that it is the gradation in a picture either of colour or of tone which is so subtle and infinite that you cannot say exactly what colour or tone it is. This has

If we study a marine picture with a calm sea we find Infinity is the most dominant quality, otherwise it be- comes shallow and uninteresting through its emptiness of subject matter.
