Neither W. Marshall Brown in _The Sea_ (p. 109), nor Julius Olsson in _The Night Wrack_ (p. 110) and _Heavy Weather in the Channel_ (p. 111), seek to make their pictures more attractive by adding to them any subsidiary incident. They are content to depend for success upon the plain statement of things they have seen in the sea itself and to be painters of the sea, and the sea alone. But both of them have found stirring subjects, impressively strong and calling for a particular decisiveness of method, and both have proved fully equal to the occasion. Of these three canvases perhaps the most largely seen and the finest in its grasp of the motive as a whole is the _Heavy Weather in the Channel_, which has really monumental breadth and dignity. Between these powerful paintings and those of the Hon. Duff Tollemache and A. J. W. Burgess, which have a similar æsthetic intention, come in the sequence of the illustrations two very interesting works of Walter Bayes, _The Timid Bather_ (p. 113) and _The Red Beach_ (p. 112). These make an intelligent compromise between realism and abstract decoration; they are designs worked out with a sound idea of pattern-making and in accordance with a pre-conceived scheme of arrangement, but the details of which they are composed have been studied from nature with serious and observant vision. They are fancies with a solid foundation of fact, while _The Watch that Never Ends_ (p. 116) and _The Scarborough Fleet_ (p. 117), by Burgess, and the _Storm on the Cornish Coast_ (p. 115), by Tollemache, are pure fact all through, and fact stated with well-justified confidence. A decorative purpose is very definitely apparent in John Everett’s _Deck of a Tea-Clipper in the Tropics_ (p. 118) and _Breakers_ (p. 119), but this purpose has been fulfilled with excellent judgment and eminently good taste. There is an obvious formality in both pictures, and yet this formality does not detract from their charm--indeed, in the _Breakers_ it adds strength to a sensitive note of an afterglow effect in which there is a delightful perception of tone subtleties and of varieties of curiously related colour.
