Howard Cook, an Englishman, is responsible for some of the most interesting work on display. In particular, his "Canyons" is a very capable piece of etching, and quite as forcible is his impression of "Skyscrapers." John Nash, also an English artist, concentrates more on the design, abstracting the subject matter to fit this composition, and has succeeded in making some very pleasing small etchings. A head by Pechstein is the only blatantly modern piece of the English display...

One, a lithograph entitled "Pinnacle" combines softness with great power, and is the best of the four, although "The End", a woodcut, has a great deal of force.

Grey-haired, slender and 48. he was born in Ballarat, Australia, still speaks with a rich bush-twang. He emerged from the War a witty cynic with an artistic manner reminiscent of Beerbohm the Exquisite, but with an even surer command of line. Possibly to make the Beerbohm parallel less marked he adopted etching as his medium two years ago. Like Max, half the effect of his pictures is in the written...
