Exhibition which is being held under the auspices of the Fang-had to be raised as the result of n kong Working Artists Guild at the Gloucester Building first floor.

All the exhibitors, who are past students of the late Mr. Kon Ki-fung, eminent artist, are perfect and skilful draughts-

men.

Unlike Mr. Ma Man-lee, whose one-man show, it will be recalled, was held at China Building a month ago, who patats "out of his head," they make direct studies from Nature and in fart their best works are those done in this manner. In this respect common with their works are in Western Art except that these are more decisive and direct, without any Initial "pencilling" stage, and hence the more vital.

Heading the catalogue is Mr. Chiu perfect colourist, Shlu-ngonit, 9 whose studies of birds and flowers are unsurpassed. No. 1 is a harmony of binck- scheme rarely achieved by western artists. No. 5, "Cockatoo," is a study that has all the delicate colours one may expect from a bird of this nature. No. 11 is a charming study of flowers,

Mr. Ho Chat-yuen and Mr. Yung Shau-shek's treatment is somewhat In less sensitive both in tone and In colour, In the subject of landscape, however, the former has retained and unheld the tradition of Chinese: Art: but in his "Stag In Snow" (No. 32) Mr. the treatment is westernised. Shou-shek tan not Yung

fully utilised the liquid wash technique except lo n few "misty" subjects. "Java Sparrows" (No. 101) is a very accurate study both in colour and in

farm.

.*

Mr. Chow Yat-fung bas made great JL advance in his colour scheme.. will be remembered that during the last Exhibition of the same Club held in December last at China Building he only exhibited monochrome draw ings of which he no doubt is a master, as some of the present entries will show. He has a very original out- look in his landscape composition and his Pine Tree studies (Nos. 25-28) are as masterly as they are appealing. No. 22. "A Scene In Kwellin," has a very attractive and unusual position. His other subjects, how- ever, do not appear to με attractive.

com-

Mr. Ip Shin-ping is more concern- ed in observation, so that his subjects are more necurately rendered. In Nos, 71-72 all the goldfish have a

foreshortening which is nothing less than marvellous, The rendering of bubbles blown through

water also shows keen observation. His use of white is masterly, ns Nos. 60 & 70 will show.
