York Water Color Exhibition has been un animousl accorded the place of honor was among the artists who contributed to the Prang Prize Exhibition His composition com-position although it received fewervotes than many of the others was perhaps the most truly artistic of them all Mr Dewing is in the truest sense an idealist and his works have in them just that element of the poetic which ippeals rather to the cultivated few than the universal public It is in the reproduction of such ideal creations that lithography vindicates its claim to rank as a fine art |
