ART IN AUSTRALIA.
The April number of the Australian art journal, now published six times a year, is an interesting miscellany. The chief feature is Mr Basil Burdett's review of Mrs Zander's exhibition of British contemporary art, from which several pictures are reproduced in colour. There are short articles on the work of Miles Evergood and William Frater, and a longer one on Samuel Thomas Gill, a mid-century draughtsman who so vividly recorded life on the goldfields and in Melbourne as to be, in Mr Burdett's phrase, "the finest of Victoria's artistic reporters . . . from 1850 to 1870." But the best reading in the number is Mr H. M. Grpen's "in memoriam" tribute to Professor J. Le Gay Brereton. In addition there are some pages devoted to the reproduction of some specimens from recent exhibitions, of drawings and woodcuts.
