' Portrait Painting '
A Dialogue between Mr. STANLEY CASSON and Mr. EDWARD HALLIDAY
THIS dialogue lives up very closely to the general title of the series, for on this occasion it takes the form of a conversation between an artist and his sitter. Throughout the discussion Mr. Halliday will be at work upon a portrait-drawing of Mr. Casson. This will afford him a unique opportunity of explaining his methods in detail, as well as his views on art in general. Mr. Halliday, who studied art at Liverpool, Paris, and the Royal College of Art, was the winner of the coveted Prix de Rome for Decorative Painting in 1925. Probably his best-known portrait is that of Lord Darling, which caught the approving eye of the critics at the Royal Academy of 1929. This work is on loan at present to the Leeds City Art Gallery, where it is being exhibited with particular reference to this talk.
