Abstract
MANY of the subjects which enlisted the enthusiasm of British artists fifty years ago, notably the historical and military, have faded out of modern exhibitions, but the scenery of the English countryside and coast retains its attraction, and is fully represented in this year's Academy. Landscape, and especially English landscape, is the principal subject of the water-colour paintings. These, relegated to a side gallery, are generally viewed after the eye has become attuned to the larger and stronger oil paintings.
