SOME FINE PICTURES

OLD MASTERS AND MODERN ART Sir Charles Holmes strikes the right note in his new book "Old Masters and Modern Art’’ when he says that the best way of making up for the loss of our old masterpieces is to encourage the production of now ones. Some people think that only the old masters could paint, but there are a few artists living to-day whose work will compare with the best of other times, and it is for the discerning buyer to discover them. Fortunately, the art loving public of Palmerston North are taking great interest in Mr E. Murray Fuller’s exhibition of British Art, and large attendances at the Gallery. Broadway (near G. H. Bennett Ltd.) aro recorded dav by day. Tho exhibition represents tho very best in British Art to-day—examples of tho latest work of such prominent painters as Arnesby Brown. RA.. S. J. Lamorna Birch. A-R-A., Sir Herbert Hughes-Stanton. R.A., Terrick Williams, A.R.A.. Harold Knight, A.R.A., E. W. Haslehust, R.8.A., Lucy Kcmp-Welch.
