ART IN AUSTRALIA
A wide range of Australian painting is illustrated in the May quarterly issue of Art in Australia. The colour-plates include landscapes in very diverse styles by Hans Ileysen, a retrospective exhibition of whose work was lately held in the National Art Gallery of New South Wales, by Kenneth MacQueen and S. Woodward Smith. A vigorous flower painting by Margaret Preston and one of Then Proctor's dainty figure studies are also reproduced. Seven entries for the 1934 Archibald prize portrait competition are shown in monochrome, including the prize picture, si self-portrait by tho late Henry Hanko. Lionel Lindsay, tho well-known etcher, who was lately appointed art critic to the Melbourne Herald, contributes a memorial article on the late L. Bernard Hall, for many years director of tho Melbourne Art Gallery. Mr. Lindsay pays generous tribute to Mr. Hall, a. strictly academic painter and teacher who never wavered from his devotion to the artistic ideal exemplified by the " Clapham Hellenism " of Alma-Tadema, Leighton and Poynter.
