AUSTRALIAN ART
CRITICISM IN LONDON LOXDOX, May 9. The Times, commenting on the exhibition of paintings, drawings, and sculpture by Empire artists, organised by the Royal British Colonial Society of Artists, says: "The Australians are most closely in touch with Europe. Their .style is a broadening of the French academic stylo, their chief preoccupation being space and light. "ilr. John Powell's scene in the Dandenongs ami Mr. Will Ashton's 'Building the Bridge' may be regarded as typical of their technical skill. Similarly, George Lambert's selfportrait, and Mr. Sydney Ure Smith 's 'Sydney Harbour from Potts Point' comes 'nearest to British work of a slightly old-fashioned variety."
