"SCOMIX"
Sir,-1 have before me a copy of Zhe — Listener opened at the pages featuring "Scomix." I wonder just how many readers fully appreciate the sheer brilliance of Mr. Russell Clark’s drawings -dquite apart from the clever conception of "Scomix’? As one who has for some 15 years been living by commercial art and illustration, I am of the opinion that few artists anywhere in the world could match Mr. Clark’s versatility. R. J. Munnings paints horses, Russell Flint paints Spanish women sémi-nude, and Lamorna Birch paints trout streams (I’m told he’s a keen fisherman), But
no .one could accuse Russell Clark of specialising. His sculpture, oi] paintings of landscape, his portraits, murals, illustrations and cartoons are apparently carried out with equal confidence: It is to be hoped that Mr. Clark will stay in New Zealand and not disappear to other lands, as have done so many of our brilliant artists.
