PAVEMENT ART
OLD MASTERS COPIED PUPIL OF LAURENS Striking copies of the Dutch old masters on exhibition at Burlington House, Piccadilly, were drawn daily on the pavement outside St. Martin in the Fields, Trafalgar Square, by an artist who said he has exhibited in the Paris Salon. tie refused to disclose his name. He said to a "Daily Mail” reporter: “Thousands of pounds were spent on my training. I was a pupil of J. P. Laurens (the French historical painter) and for 10 years before the war I was at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. lam a portrait painter, but commissions during the past 18 months have been so difficult to obtain that I was forced to become a pavement artist to exist. lam afraid that the work I do on the pavement here is not of the type that appeals to the ordinary passer-by.”
