A HOMELY ATMOSPHERE.
BRITISH ARTISTS EXHIBITION SOME QUIET JOKES BY ARTISTS. One can always go to the spring show of Hie Royal Society of British Artists with the certainty of finding sound work there, writes Pierre Jeannerat, in the London Daily Mail. This year’s exhibition (Hie lS3rd) is no exception. Rain was pelting on the glass roof when I entered and i fell al once comfortable as one docs at the siglil of a fireside and broad armchair during a storm.
.Many of Ihe piclures arc so essenlially homely and should be easy to live willi.
A “ Siamese Cal ” by Arlhur Stewart, seemed to purr. 'Pleasant landscapes and still lives, Ihe portraits of kindly people, engendered a restful mood. Digs in the ribs of Surburbia —like “The Piano" (a fat man in shirt sleeves playing pompously—by Steven Spurrier, were qAlet jokes I'o be enjoyed.
