ART IN TWO DOMINIONS
Art in New Zealand. June, 1934, Vol. VI, No. 4. Harry H. Tombs, Ltd. (3/6.) Art in Australia, Third series, No. 55, May, 1934. Art in Australia, Ltd. (5/-.) "Art in New Zealand" for June is remarkable for the variety of its contents. The Canterbury Society of Arts exhibition is reviewed by Professor Shelley, and sixteen of the pictures are reproduced in black and white, as are several of the works in the British Loan Exhibition. Miss Elizabeth Gunson gives an account of the Elam School of Art, with many illustrations of work that reveals its teaching. There is some poetry, and Mr A. R. D. Fairburn contributes a really valuable discourse on "Some Aspects of New Zealand Life and Letters."
The frontispiece of "Art in Australia," now appearing as a quarterly, is a colour plate of Augustus John's Reverie, The Tired Climber, now in the New South Wales National Art Gallery. Other fine works recently purchased are also reproduced in colour, notably a Clausen. About 20 more are reproduced in half-tone. These include some admirable etchings and drawings by Cameron, Rushbury, Meryon, Bone, Orpen, and Brockhurst. Mr Harold Wright, of the London artdealing firm, Colnaghi's, reviews the Meryon etchings in the Melbourne Art Gallery—a very useful article.
