MASSEY PORTRAIT
PICTURE FROM LONDON A loan from the Bank of England to the National Art Gallery, Wellington, is a portrait of the late Rt. Hon. William Ferguson Massey, which Augustus John painted and which was purchased by the bank. There is already in the gallery a portrait of Now Zealand's famous Prime Minister, one by \V. A. Bowring, but '.he one by Augustus John shows Mr. Massey in a different mood. It presents him as he looked when facing a hostile House, whereas the other portrait shows a more genial aspect of the statesman.
