Exhibition of Works of Late Christopher Wood A young Englishman, who shot briefly across the sky of the modern art world like a brilliant meteor, meeting his death in tragic circumstances eight years ago, comes to life again today through his pictures, states the "Daily Herald."
On March 2 artists musicians, dancers, writers, famous people from many walks of life, to the private view at the New Burlington Galleries, W., of a posthumous exhibition of all the paintings, except one, of Christopher Wood.
The missing picture hangs in the Tate Gallery. The rest total nearly 1000, and they were nearly. all painted in the last crowded -nine years of a life which ended at the age of 29 beneath the wheels of a train at Salisbury station.
As his life drew near its tragic end it almost seemed as if the young artist had some prescience of his own doom, for in the last two months of his life he painted four pictures a week.
To his mother, who still occupies the house near Salisbury, where he visited her on the very last day of his life, the present exhibition owes its completeness, for her son corresponded with her so regularly that she has a note of every single pic-lure he painted, every sketch he drew.
At her wish the exhibition will be open free to the public
