One has been long accustomed to look outside an academy for whatever is vital, or original, or individual in the work of British painters. Hitherto in England there have been two chief headquarters for the two chief groups of Independents. The New Gallery has offered shelter to artist Burne Jones and his school, the New English Art Club has been a center for the younger men who also have disdained academic restrictions, but whose sympathies are with modern movements rather than primitive revivals. Fortunately, this year both have opened before the Academy, the New English Art Club several weeks ago, the New Gallery today, so that there is time to give them the preliminary attention which is unquestionably their due. |
