LOAN FOR ART GALLERY
OFFER BY MRS. A. DONALD SIR ALFRED EAST’S WORK A very fine example of the work of the late Sir Alfred East, R.A., has been brought to Auckland by his daughter, Mrs. Allan Donald, who arrived on the Remuera to join her husband here. Sir Alfred was one of England’s foremost landscape painters and a gallery to his memory and named after him, was built at Kettering. Mrs. Donald said that the picture she has brought with her is an excellent work and that she proposes lending it to the Auckland Art Gallery, as it is too large for a private house. Art in England, she says, has gone back to sanity. There is the influence of the cubists, the futurists and other modern examples of expression, but they do not predominate. Art has changed in every way and in everything. In her childhood days Mrs. Donald met many of the artists who now figure among the most prominent of the day in England. Many of them frequented her father’s studio and were encouraged in their work by the late Sir Alfred, who helped many young artists along the road to fame.
