Preface
Roberts, Henry D.: Notice, p. 3-4

"The sixth of the series of exhibitions of modern foreign art to be held in these Galleries has been arranged under circumstances very different from others previously held. Usually I have visited the capital of the country whose artists have been invited to exhibit, and have been able to form there a strong and representative Committee, which has undertaken the selection of the pictures, &c. For obvious reasons this has not been possible on the present occasion, and it may be wondered how a Belgian exhibition could be secured at all. Neither would it have been if it had not been for the valuable cooperation and assistance of M. Paul Lambotte, the Director of Fine Arts in the Belgian Ministry of Science and Arts. By his aid an exhibition, which he himself says is quite representative, has been arranged.

At the outbreak of war exhibitions of Belgian pictures, which were afterwards sent to England, were on view at Venice, Florence, Lyons, &c. In this country, too, there was a considerable quantity of excellent statuary on exhibition. It is from these exhibitions that the majority of pictures and statuary have been selected. There are, of course, many gaps, and it is to be regretted that some of the more prominent Belgian artists are not exhibitors. M. Lambotte’s own words in the preface of the catalogue of another exhibition recently held in Cardiff may be quoted here with some effect:--

‘In the collection here exhibited may be perceived the chief characteristic qualities of Belgian painting, power and brilliance of colouring in fresh healthy pigment, with the strength and solid feeling of life making its appeal everywhere. In the sculpture, and even in the works in black and white, there may be observed a similar impression of plasticity and sensibility of touch. Beligan art is quite different from British, and retains throughout its significance and its native flavour. At first sight it may disconcert the spectator, but longer and more careful study will discover its real and serious attraction in spite of its foreign appearance.’

We have been fortunate in securing the patronage of H.M. the King of the Belgians, who, in spite of the distractions of the war, has been graciously pleased to take an interest in the exhibition, and to send his best wishes for its success.

We have been further privileged in having a promise to open the exhibition from Princess Napoleon, until recently known as Princess Clémentine of Belgium, a cousin of H.M. King Albert and a daughter of the late King Leopold.

The biographical notes in the index to the catalogue (many of which appeared in the catalogue of the exhibition recently held at Cardiff) have in the main been supplied by M. Richard Dupierreux and M. Paul Lambotte, and the Committee are extremely obliged to them.

M. Lambotte has placed us under further obligations by giving me permission to translate his extremely valuable and informative lecture on the evolution of the Belgian School of Painting during the last 70 years of the 19th century. It is a felicitous and poetic language. M. Lambotte, I may add, was good enough to accept from the Committee the position of Honorary President of the Exhibition.

Those in whom an interest in Belgian art may be roused through the exhibition will benefit by a study of the books and magazine articles contained in the Library on this subject, a list of which is given in the catalogue.

In order to assist the local committee which is maintaining many Belgian refugees in Brighton and Hove, it has been decided to make a charge of 6d. for admission during the first month, the proceeds being given to their fund.

Practically all the exhibits are for sale, and it is to be hoped that many will find purchasers. A deposit of 10 per cent, must be made at the time of purchase. Any pictures, &c., sold at the exhibition cannot be delivered until its close, and must be removed at the expense of the purchaser. Copyright of all the pictures, &c., in the exhibition is reserved by the artists. Application to reproduce any of them must be made to the undersigned.

The exhibition will be open to the public form April 26th for about three months.
Henry D. Roberts, Director”
