I GWEN FFRA GCON-DAVIES Sickert Presented to the Tate Gallery through the aid of the C. A.S., the N.A.C.F. and Mr. Frank Stoop REPORT

THISReport of the activities of the Society during the past two years is being circulated in the hope that it may encourage members to talk about the Society, and make it widely known amongst: their friends. In these days of economy, when people hesitate to spend much on pictures, it should at least be possible for them, if they are interested in art and artists, to spend a guinea on becoming a member of the Society. By so doing, they would be helping to acquire works ofart to be given eventually to the Nation's public galleries, and at the same time they would be assisting artists who, owing to the difficult times, are less able to sell to individual purchasers. . Such people might ask, and do ask, what advantages they would get by joining the Society, and for their satisfaction free access for members has been obtained to certain Galleries enumerated on page 8, and also each year special visits are to be arranged to houses and collections not usually open to the public. It is hoped that these attractions will assist the Society's main task of making Contempo- rary Art the concern of as many people as possible.

A moment's reflection on the vast sums spent annually on the purchase of the Art of the past should convince us as to the expedi- ency of buying effectively before the verdict of successive generations places on certain modern works a value beyond the reach of the ordinary purse. A shilling well spent to-day will go as far as a pound to-morrow ; and, had a policy of this discerning kind been observed by those in authority during the last half of the 19th century, our museums to-day would be rich in masterpieces whose presence in

3 them at all is but due to the subsequent ehetgy and generosity of private benefactors.

It should be possible through the medium of this Society to do for Public Galleries now what was unfortunately omitted on their behalf in the past, but in order to achieve any striking result, the number of supporters must be increased. Those interested primarily in Con- temporary Art are a limited band, and the Society should be able to enlist the sympathy of those also who care chiefly for the Art of the past. These subscribe generously and frequently when large sums are needed for the acquisition of old works. On such occasions might they not reflect with profit to all concerned on the fact that every work of art was once modern and was at the disposal of quite modest resources ?

It was thus that the Society was founded in 1909, in the conviction that much of the finer artistic talent of that time was imperfectly or not at all represented in the National and Municipal Galleries. Since that date the Tate Gallery is indebted to the Society for a great number of its best modern works, and many provincial galleries have benefited both by gift and by representative loans of British work. The Com- mittee, whose members represent a wide range of opinion, hope to continue to fill, as they occur, what would seem to posterity to be in- excusable gaps in our Museums and Galleries.

In other countries these galleries would enjoy certain official patronage, but here they are dependent on private generosity.

The method of purchase is as follows :-

A single member of the Committee is appointed as buyer for twelve months, and has the spending of the Society's income, less 2 5 per

4 FLOWERS, 1901 Presented to the 'Tate Gallery through the aid of the Foreign Fund) Picasso cent., which is put into a Reserve Fund. The purchases are either retained by the Society, and lent from time to time for exhibitions or presented outright to some public gallery. After a certain number of years it is in the power of the Committee to sell pictures which for any reason they no longer wish to keep and buy others with the proceeds. The present Report covers a period of two years, since it was felt by the members of the Committee that it was not justifiable in these days of enforced economy to publish one each year. It contains a list of acquisitions of the Society during the years l 9 32 and l 9 33, its gifts to London Galleries and those of the Provinces, a statement of subscriptions and donations during the two years together with Financial Statements, and separate Reports for the Print Fund and the Arts and Crafts Fund.

Pictures have been lent during 1932 and 1933 to Bradford, Cincinnati (Ohio), Cleveland (Ohio), Curtis Moffat Ltd., Harrogate, Hove, Huddersfield, Hull, Leicester Galleries, Lincoln, Liverpool, Manchester, New York, Oldham, Portsmouth, Toledo (Ohio), Tooth & Sons, Venice, Worcester (Mass.); and works have been presented to 3 5 public galleries. The provincial galleries are beginning to realise the benefits of becoming members of the C.A.S., for in return for a subscription ranging from 5to 30 guineas they obtain pictures whose values range from £30 to £200.

Ifprovincial galleries cannot afford a large subscription themselves they can perhaps find friends of their gallery who will help them by small yearly subscriptions.

The Buyers for the years 1932 and 1933 were Sir Augustus Daniel and Lord Balniel. In February, 1932, Mr. Ernest Gye, Mr. Maynard Keynes and Mr. C. L. Stocks were elected to the Executive

6 Committee. Mr. Ernest Gye retired on his appointment to Tangier in 1933.

An Exhibition of Purchases by the C.A.S. was arranged at Messrs. Tooth's from September to October, 1932. The Lady Patricia Ramsay very kindly opened this Exhibition.

Gifts to the Society by friends and from the Society to the Tate Gallery and other public galleries are enumerated in Appendix A.

In 1932, members1of the Society were invited to visit Hinching- brooke and Blenheim Palace through the courtesy of Lord Sandwich and the Duke of Marlborough; and in 1933, Mr. Hindley Smith and the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire kindly invited members. On January 20, 1934, by the gracious consent of H .M. The King, members of the Society were privileged to visit Buckingham Palace and to see the pictures there.

Ordinary General Meetings of the C.A.S. were held on Febru- ary 24, 1932, and March 22,1933. Mr. Charles Underwood was re- elected Auditor to the Society.

Note:-

On April 7, 193 l, the Contemporary Art Societywasincorporated. This step was taken in view of the frequently expressed desire of friends of the Society to bequeath to it on their death either certain funds or pictures, and it was not possible to take advantage of this without the necessary formality of first incorporating the Society. The Society is now officially recognised as a charity, and members paying their subscriptions through the National Council of Social Service, 26 Bedford Square, London, W.C.1, may reclaim income- tax through them.

7 PRIVILEGES TO MEMBERS OF THE CONTEMPORARY ART SOCIETY

It has been arranged that all members of the Contemporary Art Society may attend, free of charge, Exhibitions at the following Galleries on presentation of their Card of Membership :

The French Gallery , The Goupil Gallery The Lefevre Galleries The Leicester Galleries The London Group Exhibitions The Seven and Five Exhibitions The National Gallery, Trafalgar Square The National Gallery, Millbank The Wallace Collection.

It is hoped that in the course of the next year further privileges may be obtained.

Cards of Membership have been sent to all members.

The minimum Annual Subscription is placed at the figure of one guinea in order that as large a number of members may be enlisted as .possible. Subscriptions or Donations should be sent to the Hon. Secretary, Lord Ivor Spencer-Churchill, 4 John Street, Mayfair, W.r.

PRINT FUND EIGHTH REPORT, FOR THE YEARS 1932-33 T will be seen by comparison with previous reports that a diminution in the income of the Fund has corresponded to the general decrease in national prosperity. Following exhibitions at the St. Marylebone Town Hall and the Carlisle Public Library of prints acquired in the previous period, the biennial exhibition of recent acquisitions, about 100 in number, was held in November, at 22 Montagu Square, and its contents were then exhibited at the St. Marylebone Town Hall until the end of January, 1934.Further exhibitions are planned for this year at the Blackheath School of Art, Carlisle, Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield, anand. at the Oxford Arts Club. Large gifts of prints and drawings that had been for some time in circulation were made again in 1932 and 1933, to the Print Room of the British Museum. The gifts of 1932 included " Sea Wall at Dym- church," by Paul Nash (water-colour), 26 proofs of S. Gooden's engravings illustrating the Fables of La Fontaine, 8 proofs of wood- engravings by B. R. Hughes-Stanton for "Cormus," l 5 trial proofs of dry-points by H. Rushbury, A .R.A., and, among foreign works, prints by Guastalla, Cross, Denis, Roussel, Canyellas and Bange- mann. The larger gift made in 1933 included drawings by E. Blampied, Lord Methuen, Paul Nash, Betty Purvis, Vere Temple, Diana White, Paul Signac and C. V. Stubbe; etchings by Anderson, Blampied, Dodd, Exley, Grant, McBey, Orovida, Rushbury, Sullivan and others ; engravings by W. E. C. Morgan and Harry Morley; colour-prints by W. Giles, W.]. Phillips and A. R. Read; lithographs by E. Henderson, H. Massingham, B. Purvis and W. P. 30 Robins; woodcuts by E. Carrick, F. Greenwood, G . Hermes, P. Nathan, C. Pellew, E. Ravilious, G. Raverat, N. Rooke, M, A. Smith, etc. ; and many foreign prints by Bianco, Chamberlain, Rosenberg, Miller, Luling (American), Nieuwenkamp, Nyland, Schelfhout (Dutch), Besnard, Guastalla, Laboureur, Lang (French), and representatives of several other foreign schools. The Print Fund has lost the following subscribers by death since the issue of the last report: Mrs. T. R. Bolitho, Mr. W. FitzGerald, Mr. E. M. Hutchinson,, Mr. J. Hutchinson, Mr. A. Lingard, Mr. W. B. Paterson, Mr. C. E. Southwell, Mr. H. Stokes, Mr. F.A. White. The late Keeper of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum, who has adminiStered the Fund since its inauguration in 1919, will no longer do so after the year 1934; he will be succeeded, in accord- ance with the original conStitution of the Fund, by the present Keeper, Mr. A. M. Hind, O.B.E. Any alteration in the arrangements for payment of subscriptions necessitated by this change will be announced later. CAMPBELL DODGSON.

CONTEMPORARY ART SOCIETY'S POTTERY AND CRAFTS FUND 1932 and 1933

For the two years covered by this report the ubscriptions and Donations amounted in 1932 to Subscriptions £73 15s. od. and in 1933 £72 14s. od. Donations £5 4s. od. £ 7 6s. od.

T otal £78 19s. od. £80 0s od.

I regret to have to record the death of a regular contributor to the Fund: Sir Kenyon Vaughan-Morgan, O .B.E., D.L., M.P. The purchases include some very fine examples of pottery by S. Hamada and K. .a.aiof Japan; \Y/. Staite Murray, Bernard Leach, Charles Vyse, Michael Cardew, Miss K . Pleydell-Bouverie, Miss N. Braden, Miss Agatha Walker and some interesting pieces by A. Hopkins, V. Cole and Miss Jill Salaman. A modelled figure subject, " Everyday Life," by Miss Irene Browne, was purchased through the generosity of Miss I. R. Cor- coran, and two other pieces by the same artist, " Spring " and " Grief," were presented by the Administrator of the Fund. Three beautiful specimens of Powell's \Y/hitefriars Glass were acquired from an exhjbition at Dunthorne's Gallery. Two of the Raven Press publications were obtained, " Venus and Adonis" and" The To bit"; also Fontenelle's" Plurality of Worlds" from the Nonesuch Press, and " Sappho " from the Boar's Head Press. During the two years under review the pottery which had been on view at Plymouth Museum was transferred to the City Museum and 39 Art Gallery, Bristol, and a portion of these was subsequently taken by Mr.Maxwell, the Director of the Bristol Museum, to the County Museum and Art Gallery at Truro, in Cornwall. Two cases have been displayed at the Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery, and now go on to the ottingham Castle fuseum in 1934. A fine show of four cases was made at th opening exhibition of the new galleries of the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, and these will remain there for a further period in this coming year.

The terracotta " Goose," by Barbara Skeaping, damaged in transit from Leicester to Plymouth has been repaired by the Director at the Bristol Museum, and has been presented to the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery, in acknowledgment of much valuable help rendered by Mr. Maxwell, the Director, in transporting personally .the collections from various galleries and his interest shown in the work of the Fund.

As the financial position of the country improves, I hope this will be reflected in some considerable addition to the funds subscribed, so that greater advantage can be taken of the opportunities offered to acquire more very interesting craft work for presentation to the museums of the Empire.
