ART CRITICISM
Sir,- Having just seen the exhibition of Australian art so fulsomely praised by your contributor, A. R. D, Fairburn, I am forced to disagree with his contention "that it is better than any collection of contemporaty painting that we could bring together in New Zealand." I am quite confident of being able to go to Auckland and assémble from the work of J. Weeks, E. LeeJohnson, VY. Brown, Bessie Christie, May Smith, and one or two others a collection probably without the wide technical range of this lot, but certainly superior in point of colour and design. Has your contributor never seen the work of Mr. Weeks, to mention only one of the above, or having seen it, has he forgotten it so easily?
