200 GOOD THINGS
GIFTS TO BRIGHTON CITY. Mr. Frank Brangwyn,' the painter of magnificent pictures which gleam on the walls of great'buildings in many parts of the world, has been saying thank you to Brighton, England, in a very charming way. Two years ago Brighton showed Mr. Brangwyn an act of courtesy which he much appreciated, lending him the Pavilion Galleries for a studio in which he could finish some large cartoons for decorations in Radio City, America. The galleries made an excellent workroom, where a man who draws on Mr. Brangwyn’s scale could move about and see what he was doing. By way of a magnificent gesture of gratitude Mr. Brangwyn has’ now presented Brighton with a superb set of over 200 etchings and lithographs. Mr. Brangwyn’s etchings are, to use a hackneyed phrase in its true sense, great works of art, a lesson in what can be done with the etcher’s needle, and his drawings on the stone are a revelation of his mastery of line and mass, Brighton is aware of her good fortune. In the summer a special exhibition will lie arranged in the Pavilion of these treasures of which she is justly proud.
