Advice has been received by Mr C. F. Goldie, the well-known Auckland artist, that two portrait studies of Maori chiefs which he sent to Europe last year have been accepted for hanging in the 1939 Paris Salon which opened on May 5. In response to a special invitation Mr Goldie dispatched the pictures for submission for the 1938 salon, but they arrived three days late. Anticipating this, he instructed his London agents to send in two smaller works ’which were already in England and these were accepted and hung. The two portraits accepted this year are of two very fine old tattooed chiefs, Wharekauri Tahuna and Atama Paparangi, and Mr Goldie is very proud of them as representations of the types that belong tej an era that will never return. The titles which he gave them were “Thoughts of a Tohunga” and “In Doubt.”
