Old Masters And Live Ones.

If Americans buy up all our old masters, they ought to be willing to receive our living ones, too. And, in spite of some resentment in local art circles against the “invaders,” apparently they are. Sir John Lavery, Harrington, [sic] Mann, Oswald, [sic] Birley, Frank Salisbury, Augustus John and Philip de Laszlo have all invaded the States, and they all say they would have had to stay much longer if they had accepted all the commissions offered them.

De Laszlo is back in London, having gone over for three months and stayed six. “And he could have stayed ten years,” said Mrs. de Laszlo yesterday. Now he is the only English artist who has painted three American Presidents, Roosevelt, Harding and Coolidge.—“Mr. London” in the “Daily Graphic.”^[1]
