FRANCES HODGKINS
Sir-Some months ago the British Council sent to New Zealand at the request of the Canterbury Society of Arts six paintings by the late Frances Hodgkins, It .may interest readers of The Listener, which has already given us articles on her work, to know that five of these pictures are still for sale. One has just been purchased by public subscriptions for Christchurch, These paintings are of her later period and are in some ways more difficult to understand than her impressionist work. In the Tate Gallery in London I saw recently four of her paintings, and Penguin Modern Painters have devoted their
last issue to her. Pictures by Frances Hodgkins are in many galleries in Britain and have been bought, for their private collections, by such connoisseurs as the Hon. Jasper Ridley, Chairman of the Trustees of the Tate; Sir Edward Marsh, Chairman of the Contemporary Art Society, and Sir Kenneth Clark, former Director of the National Gallery. The paintings now in New Zealand have been shown in Christchurch and ° Dunedin, but in none of the other centres. I feel it would be a greaty pity if they were returned to England before being exhibited elsewhere.
