Really International
"Art is one of the few things. in the world that is really interna tional, said "Sir Hugn Poynter, in opening the exhibition of paintings by 3. J. Lamorna Birch, RA, at the Grosvenor Galleries recently,
"It does not matter to what country an artist belongs; there is never the least jealousy between exponents of different nations." he added.
"It is a pleasure for us to nave Royal Academician in Sydney. The Royal Academy sull stands for what is best in British art, al- though there are other "societies with merit. The Academy repre- sents tradition in art, and in spite of its conservatism, it keeps pace with the ever-changing' style" in painting."
Sir Hugh said that it would be valuable if artists could be inter- 'changed between Britain and Aus tralla occasionally.
Mr. Birch, in reply, said that he professed to be nothing more than "plain or common landscape painter."
“I am not particularly interest- ed in modern art," he said. "But I am always ready to learn and to take lessons from the work of me, derns."
