NEW ZEALAND ARTISTS.

MfSS FRANCES HODGKINS - S WORK. (From Our Own - Correspondent.) ■ LONDON, March 19. New Zealanders are -well, represented at ,the latest exhibition of the Seven-and-Five Society—perhaps the most modern group of British artists—at Tooth’s Gallery, Bond street. , Pride of place is given to the paintings ot Miss Frances Hodgkins, daughter of the late Mr W. M. Hodgkins, the wellknown Dunedin lawyer, and the Ant Critic of The Times has referred to her as one of the leading woman painters in England to-day. Miss Hodgkins’s work, is wel! known to visitors tj the Wellington Art Gallery, and her paintings are in most of the leading municipal galleries at home. She is certainly one of the most individual and accomplished painters that the Dominion has produced. Mr Leu Lye, a Christchurch boy, who came to England a few years ago, has since been doing experimental work in sculpture and films—he has been given a grant recently by the Film Society for an experimental film—allows some interesting shftwls* The third New Zealander is Mr Angus Wilson. Mr Wilson, who will perhaps be remembered for taking the nightingales to Auckland last year, has only recently taken up painting—a fact which makes his appearance in such an advanced, assembly ail the more remarkable.
