AUSTRALIAN ART
COLLECTION IN N.Z. (Fronx Our Resident Reporter.) WELLINGTON, To-day. The Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, was considerably interested this evening: in a collection of Australian art brought to New Zealand by Mr. J. H. Saunders, who is on a world tour. The work included that of such well-known Australian artists as Norman and Lionel Lindsay, Sydney TJre Smith (editor of Art in Australia). Sydney Long, T. Friedensen and Henry Van Raalte. Mr. Coates expressed his surprise at the high quality of the work which is being done in Australia and spoke in complimentary terms of the worldwide reputation earned by some of the artists during recent years. He could realise the great benefit Mr. Saunders’s tour would mean to Australian artists and suggested that in the same way much good might be done for New Zealand art. Mr. Saunders, who had a letter of introduction from the Prime Minister of Australia, Mr. S. M. Bruce, is adding a number of New Zealand works to his collection for exhibition abroad.
