"Frank Brangwyn has
been a prolific producer of pictures, water-colours and etchings in
addition to his mural painting. He is limited neither in method nor
in subject, but whether the latter be a scene in Italy, an impression of
Pittsburg, or a table laden with rich friuts of a sumptuous dessert, the
presentation of the theme is invariably decorative and grandiose"
