The accompanying reproduction j of a pastel study Sara, by Peter McIntyre has a. delicacy and an assuredness of touch which make it both a highly successful and appealing work. There is none of the usual McIntyre "slickness" here, none of that disquieting "easy confidence" which mars so much of McIntyre's work. The handling of the child's head—and particularly the hair—is a really fine piece of work indeed and shows, as I have always maintained, that McIntyre has not tapped half the talent he possesses. Here we have an insight into the type of work the artist is capable of: it is, in effect, a preliminary sketch, I "hope, for better work in the future.
Footnote: I hope next Issue to catch up on recent and current one-man showings and to add a note on N.Z.B.C. "Arts Review".
