"Mr. C.L. Chambers has several successful pictures. The high lights in the "Evening Cornfield" (No. 50), and the unearthly effects of a brilliant raven twilight transfiguring a simple English village scene (No. 90), show great originality and the painter commands great variety of technique."

"Mr. Chambers is another new-comer, who hails from Paris. He has had the benefit of personal acquaintance with Claude Monet and his brotherhood of impressionists, whose pictures revel in light and air; indeed, a private view of Mr. Chambers' works proved him no unworthy follower of the great master."
