A MODERN FRENCH TAPESTRY by Lurcat, a leading contemporary craftsman, and two bronzes by Rodin were recently bought for New Zealand. This photograph was taken at a private viewing of the works in the Blue Room of the National Art Gallery, Wellington. From left are the French Ambassador (Mr L. A. Felix), the Prime Minister (Mr Holyoake), and the Director of the National Art Gallery (Mr S. B. Maclennan). The tapestry and bronzes will be exhibited throughout the Dominion. Their purchase has virtually exhausted the French Cultural Fund established 10 years ago when the New Zealand Government set aside 25 million francs from the French war debt settlement account.
