ARTISTIC DESIGN PRODUCTION IN MASS NEW ZEALANDER'S SUCCESS (From "The Post's" Representative.) LONDON, June 15. The fact that Sir "William Llewellyn, president of the Royal Academy, opened an exhibition^ of, glass, pottery, and silver designed by Mr. Keith Murray, A.R.1.8.A. (Auckland), seems to show that this New Zealand architect and artist has definitely come into his own. As Sir William remarked, he is the first designer to come from the Dominions and to make a marls for himself in this country. Mr. Murray has been designing for more than one of the great pottery firms. He has worked at the factories and thus obtained a sympathetic understanding of the manufacturing side of the business. On this occasion he shows some 200 pieces or sets at the Medici Galleries, in Grafton Street. Sir William Llewellyn had a large audience when he opened the Exhibition. As Chairman of the Art in Industry Exhibition this year, he recognised that Mr. Murray met with a distinguished and conspicuous success. He himself entered the galleries frequently to study the exhibits, and he heard the name of Keith Murray on everybody's lips. Mr. Murray was perhaps the first industrial designer who had ventured on a one-man show, and that proved he had vision and courage. People interested in art took care that the pictures, they bought were good but there seemed even greater need that household utensils and ornaments should be beautiful. These things people picked,up in their hands every day. They lived with them and used them and, therefore, they were of more real value than pictures. All the articles displayed were factorymade things,, produced by machinery in large quantities, and, therefore, there was all the more reason that the design should be good at the beginning. A distinguished American had said: "The artist who creates a masterpiece confers an everlasting blessing on humanity, but, on the other hand, he who produces a faulty object does a definite harm. Avoidable ugliness is an outrage against civilisation, and two ugly objects are twice as outrageous as one, while the mass production of a large number of objects for wide distribution is a matter of serious public concern." SIMPLICITY OF DESIGN. It was absolutely essential, added Sir William Llewellyn, that the artist should have the ascendancy over the machine. In all Mr. Murray's designs there are one or two fundamental principles. In the first place, the patterns cut on the glass are few. He obtains his beauty from form rather than from ornamentation. Secondly, practically all his curves are slight. There are very few lines which form part of a circle. He uses the ellipse rather than the circle, and thus obtains the effect of delicacy and suggestion. His jugs and vases are tall and graceful, his bowls have such delicate curves that there is no suggestion of bulkiness. Even his beer jugs and beer mugs, though simple in form, just have a slight curve' which lends distinction. The articles on view besides vases, bowls, and beer jugs, include dinner sets, tea sets, coffee services, decanters, cocktail sets, fruit dishes, wine glasses, ash trays, honey pots, cigarette boxes, ink wells, and lamps. Prices are reasonable. For instance, a handsome matt straw-coloured vase llin high costs 375, a black basalt vase, Bin or 9in in height, 31s; more choice and larger black basalt vases cost as much as £3; but smaller ones, 4in high, may be had for 12s 6d. A cream coffee set costs 255, bottle green (a very deep and indefinite colouring) vases range from 10s to 355, while prices for the large and handsome cut crystal bowji and vases range from about 15s to 90s. Pottery displayed has been designed for Messrs. Josiah Wedgwood and Sons and cut glass for Messrs. Stevens and Williams, while a small group of choice silverware has been designed for Messrs. Mappin and Webb.
