ARTIST AND SITTER
Sir,-May I be forgiven for picking out a. materially (but not. spiritually) irrelevant detail from Vernon Brown’s letter in the "Corruption of Taste" series? He refers to the occasion on which Lord Leverhulme cut out the head of his portrait by Orpen. This was headline news in London at the time and started a furious controversy _en the rights of ownership versus the rights of a work of genius. Mr. Brown’s story is right, but his details are wrong, The portrait was by Augustus John.
