'The True Génesis of Mr. Nevinson's Art'; pg. 238,
'After losing his way in many artistic culs-de-sac, Mr. C. R. W. Nevinson at last seems to have struck upon a thoroughfare which will lead him to higher things. One is persuaded to this reflection after surveying his latest exhibition at the Leicester Galleries (Leicester Square), which, if it contained much that was infelicitous, also embodied a serious promise to do better in the future. His Portrait of a Singer, which, one believes, portrays the one-armed artist known to Bohemia as " Badger " Moody (who died during September), was drawn with circum- spection and handled with a proper forcibility. It is probably the best work Mr. Nevinson has ever produced.'
