AMERICAN PAINTERS
Sir,-In listing artists who may have influenced his painting, William Dobell made no reference to modern American painters. Yet to me, the reproductions of Mr. Dobell’s controversial portrait immediately called to mind the work of Thomas Benton. Mr. Dobell’s treatment of his sitter is mannered in the fashion of many of Benton’s figure studies. Didn’t Mr. Dobell want to acknowledge this American influence? New Zealand painters also seem to be aware of the modern American school. Examples of its influence can be seen, for example. -in some of the work of
Russell Clark.-
