Another Art Exhibition
To the exhibitions that reveal Scotland's interest in art must be added that of the Society of Painters in water-colours, now open in the RSA Galleries.
There may be fewer exhibits than a year ago, but the standard of work is high. The war atmosphere of our time has permeated some of the subjects, notably Mr R. Scott Irvine's "Deadly Nightshade" with its sinister suggestiveness of dark berries behind the open flower, a broken aeroplane as a dragon-fly of the night, and twisted wire entanglements as a danger to be avoided.
Scottish artists generally are admirably represented, and a special interest at this time when many Polish soldiers and refugees are in our midst lies in four arresting examples of the brush of Oktawian Jastrzembski, a Polish artist whose work has an individualistic character. It is to be hoped that the public, notwithstanding the many war effort claims, will rally to the, support of those who contribute so much to the joys rather than the terrors of life.
