PAINTINGS DONATED TO URBAN COUNCIL
The wellknown Brazilian artist, Daja, will present two of her
works to the Urban Council tomorrow (Thursday) as a memento of her "fond
memories of Hong Kong."
The two paintings, entitled "Torn Sudary" and "Backwater", are
stiffened painted cloth reliefs of great lyrical elegance.
They will be received by Mr. A. de O. Sales, chairman of the
council, and will become part of the permanent collection of the City
Iluseum and Art Gallery. The paintings will be put on public display

will be moving her studio to Germany in a few days time.
