International Entries
Visitors to the Assembly Hall of Solihull Council House today and next week will experience something of a magic carpet atmosphere, for the second international exhibition staged by the Solihull Photographic Society has attracted a world wide and dazzling entry – prints from Russia and China viewing with many fascinating contributions from such diverse lands as Mexico, France, Spain, Norway, to say nothing of the usual large and vigorous entries from this country to the USA. In all, entries have been received from some 15 countries, and it may be said without fear of contradiction that the general level is indefinitely higher than that of last year’s delightful show.
The standard is so consistent that it is not at all easy to pick out the “winners”, but possibly the prints of Francis Wu of Hong Kong – with that delicacy and lightness of touch, which is the genius of China – deserves a special measure of praise. Mr. Wu’s “Old Butt Delicious” (150), “Early Morning” (80), and his glorious “Pagoda” (58) have the charm of the Chinese poetry.
