Society of Yorkshire Artists

"It would be perhaps be an overstatement to say that the present exhibition, which contains a good deal of admirable painting, is dominated by one artist, but there is certainly is one man who stands out by reason of the quality as well as the character of his work. This is Mr. Richard Eurich, a young man in his early twenties, who was recently a student at the Bradford School of Arts and Crafts. Last year the Society of Yorkshire Artists showed two paintings by Mr. Eurich which contained a promise that in a large measure has now been fulfilled. It is reasonable to suppose, however, that Mr. Eurich's art though by no means merely tentative and experimental, will continue to develop on lines which are yet to be determined.

Mr Eurich is frankly a disciple of Cézanne. What matters most, however, is not from whom the artist learns but what use he makes of the knowledge he acquires. Mr. Eurich has assimilated Post-impressionism, and its principles have become a vehicle for the experessions of his own personality. "Mother and Children" - a woman with two children in a wheeled chair, facing the artist - is remarkable for the solidity with which the forms are defined and the sureness and deliberation with which the whole design is worked out.  There are some lovely passages of colour in "Musical Instruments." The range is a wide one, but the harmony is complete; there is not a false note."

". . . and there are a number of startling pictures by Richard Eurich which are semi-Futurist in treatment."
