There are 21 paintings, and four woodcuts in the show. These range over a wide range of styles through which Arthur's work has passed during the past decade. The transition; however, has been chiefly the matter. of subject matter as his work is strongly expressionist throughout and in all but his most recent works he. has consistently utilized strongly opposing contrasts for effects.

The painting topping the show is a supers lative oil titled "Storm Over the Island" that portrays in highly personal terms the drama and. force of a storm at sea. Another is "The Jugglers" which, although abstracted in geometric patterns, is free and unique.

"Popham Fort," the only water color in the show, 'is an unusually fine paper. Starting with masterfully painted "Still Life with Rider' that is quite traditional in treatment the show continues with the distinguished "Outside the Tent" with its symphonic arrangements of color, pattern, texture and form. Then there are those concerned mostly with mood as "Circus Family," "Fisherman's Wife and Child" and "The Red Sail," and "The Visitation," in which mood is an 5. extra dimension. In "Royal Steeds" and "The Meeting" Arthur allowed himself to be lead into worlds of fantasy and they fail to come up to the quality best of the show.

"The Yellow House," that comprises. both a quasi-primitivism and sophistication is the least distinguished of the more abitious oils being shown.
