ABSTRACT

On Saturday afternoon the Grafton Galleries, where for three months the Post-Impressionist pictures have sustained the onslaughts of the critics and the jeers of the Philistine, presented a curious spectacle. It was the last day of the exhibition, and the galleries were thronged. Never has there been such a crowd since the Whistler Exhibitions at the New Gallery, and the fact seems to show that public taste in pictures is advancing faster than the critics. Moreover, to one who, like the representative of the Daily Graphic, has visited the gallery many times during the exhibition, the demeanour of the spectators was very instructive.
