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
shortly.
Daja has been living in Hong Kong for the past four years but
will be moving her studio to Germany in a few days time.

Kong Art Exhibition organised last year by the City Museum and Art Gallery.
Her work has been exhibited in Geneva, Stuttgart, Rome and in

She has also given one-man shows in New York, Taipei and Hong Kong.
