MAXIMILIEN VOX. The examples selected are taken from the representative exhibition at the Redfern and St. George’s Galleries, where the work presents an extremely high average level, and rightly gives wood-engraving a place of pre-eminent honour in current English work. America is represented by The New Art of Light by LEON CARROLL, fully illustrating the basic importance of Light in Decoration, from recent examples of his work. ALDOUS HUXLEY reviews the modern architectural trend, as exemplified by its distinguished and highly stimulating protagonist, Herr ERICH MENDELSOHN. MALCOLM SALAMAN contributes the first of a series of Chats to the Print-Lover, which is planned to form current commentary on Prints, indispensable to the Collector. In addition, there will be an article upon Important Living Spanish Painters besides the customary features, Book-Reviews and Notes on Events, and an extendedly-useful Exhibitions List. --- INFORMATION Valuable originals are usually insured while in custody of The Studio, but it must be understood that all material is sent, and received, at owner’s risk.
