ABSTRACT
The first Post-Impressionist exhibition awoke a new and more critical interest amongst the British in what was happening in Paris. Huntly Carter (d. 1942) was a journalist, traveller, lecturer and writer on the arts who was later to publish The New Spirit in Art and Drama (London: Frank Palmer, 1912) (see no. 67). Like many of his contemporaries, he found the rapid changes in the art world bewildering yet exciting. He strongly admired the work of Fauve British expatriots (especially that of J.D. Fergusson) but he notices in this review that cubism (as yet unseen in England) had come into vogue in Paris.
