PAUL GAUGUIN—Woodcuts and Lithographs. BOOKS OF DISTINCTION FLEMISH PAINTING BEFORE THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY Early last year a wonderful exhibition was held at Burlington House of representative examples of Flemish and Belgian Art throughout the centuries. One of the chief organisers of that exhibition was Sir Paul Lambotte, Director-General of Beaux Arts in Brussels. Here in one volume is assembled the cream of the pictures exhibited, together with many others, representative of the great period of Netherlands Art. Sir Paul Lambotte, in an authoritative commentary, reviews the life and work of each artist. EIGHT COLOUR PLATES, 72 MONOTONE ILLUSTRATIONS. DESIGN IN THE THEATRE The importance of this volume is at once seen from the list of contributors. Mr. Gordon Graig, Mr. Nigel Playfair and Mr. Charles B. Cochran are leaders, each in his own sphere, and their contributions will be read with the interest and respect which is their right. In addition Messrs. Sheringham and Laver survey theatrical craftsmanship of the present day at home and abroad, and there are over one hundred illustrations of the work of leading designers. CONTEMPORARY FIGURE PAINTERS Twenty-four plates in colour, each by one of the leading figure painters of the day.

THE COMPLEAT ANGLER By Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton THIS reprint of the book with which the worthy Izaak has delighted generations of readers, is taken from John Major's edition, universally considered to be the best. An illustrator has been found whose art is wedded to the subject. Mr. E. Fitch Daglish, a naturalist of repute, has engraved sixteen beautiful illustrations on wood. There is, in addition to the ordinary edition given below, a De Luxe Edition of 50 copies with an extra engraving signed by the artist, obtainable only from booksellers. Both editions have batik sides, the ordinary having a canvas back and the De Luxe one of parchment. "Mr. Daglish's engravings show that it is quite possible to combine the most rigorous naturalism with a refined and sensitive decorative feeling . . . makes of the bream and the other fish, with their surrounding water, stones and algae, cuts which tempt the vandal in us to abstract, mount, and frame." — The Studio.

BEAUTIFUL NEW ART BOOKS By ARTISTS whose work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy, Paris Salon, International Society, New Gallery, Pastel Society, &c. The Art of LANDSCAPE PAINTING By Leonard Richmond, R.O.I., R.B.A. Landscape Art has completely changed from the old regime and Artists are seeking fresh grounds which lead to self-expression in pictorial language. Mr. Richmond co-ordinates theory and practice in a simple but effective manner, and it is safe to say no other book on landscape art is so fully qualified to instruct the potential artist and to assist the artist who has already achieved recognition to climb a step higher in his career. WATER COLOUR, OILS, and PASTEL are discussed in connection with landscape, and the explanations are freely illustrated throughout with beautiful colour plates which will appeal very strongly to all lovers of landscape art.

You could have a Sketchbook filled with just such interesting types and jolly bits of the Countryside as those I have reproduced here. Why not take up Sketching? Sketching will bring added joy and interest to your leisure hours, while the possibilities it offers to the capable student are endless. Even if you have never had one lesson in Drawing, if you really wish to learn, I can teach you, in a way that is pleasant, joyous even, from the very beginning. You will start by doing simple outlines from Nature, and pass gradually to subjects calling for more skill. Almost before you are aware of it, you will find yourself making virile, characterful little studies of the folk you meet, and of the things that interest or amuse you during the course of the day. I founded the Press Art School 22 years ago. My first Pupil is considered by many to be the foremost line Artist to-day; and during those 22 years I have watched other young Artists steadily climbing the ladder of success . . . old Pupils who generously admit the help of my Courses. Write for my Prospectus and read what my Pupils themselves say: men and women of all callings, in all parts of the World, who testify to the joy and practical value of Press Art School teaching. If Sketching interests you, let me send you my free Prospectus. It tells you all about my Courses for Beginners and for those young Artists who, although able to draw, cannot produce work which will sell. It is a Drawing Lesson itself. Address: Percy V. Bradshaw, THE PRESS ART SCHOOL (Dept. S. 169), Tudor Hall, Forest Hill, S.E. 23 --- COLOUR “TELLS”! CLIFFORD MILBURN POSTER ARTISTS’ COLOURS are the colours “par excellence” for all poster and show-card work.
