Artists discussed here include: Bastien-Lepage, Blanche, Brabazon, Bramley, J A Brown, F Brown, Clausen, Conder, Dewhurst, East, Forbes, de Glehn, Guthrie, Harrison, Henry, Hornel, Jamieson, Kennedy, H Knight, L Knight, La Thangue, Lavery, Legros, Ludovici jun, Lhermitte, Mac Coll, Maitland, Moore, O'Meara, Osborne, Pissaro, Rothenstein, Roussel, Sargent, Sickert, Starr, Steer, Stevenson, E Stott, W Stott of Oldham, Tonks, Tuke, Walton, and Whistler.
