...spray of green currants of which he is extremely proud. It was painted in what he now realizes is his natural style, hard, exact, brittle. The currants were on view last week together with a number of pictures from the pink-whisker period of Artist Wood's career-impressionist landscapes, views of Paris, Italian farmyards.
