A mighty and a useful reference. This volume lists the names of exhibitors, their addresses and change of address, the name, number and often price asked for their work at each exhibition. It forms a major work of reference and one that will be found indispensable to any serious collector, dealer, museum or art reference library. Some of the many errors made by Graves (or rather, as it now appears, the people he employed) have been corrected. New English Art Club. One of the societies which exhibited at the Suffolk Street Galleries was the New English Art Club, founded in 1886 by a group of young artists who were out of sympathy with the Royal Academy. It was a centre for French influence and Impressionism. Monet, Morisot and Degas all exhibited as guests. The pictures were selected by a jury of twelve artists elected by members, among whom were Whistler, Wilson Steer, W.J. Laidlay, T.B. Kennington, H.H. La Thangue, George Clausen, Aubrey Beardsley, Max Beerbohm and Augustus John. The establishment of the Camden Town Group round Sickert in 1911 and the interest in the works of Cezanne, Gauguin and Van Gogh caused a rift in the Club which had begun to move more towards draftsmanship and away from Impressionism. The complete list of works exhibited at the Club between 1888 and 1917 provides a valuable source of reference for art of the period.
