John Collier, octogenarian artist, whose self portrait as he saw himseif ‘n a distorting mirror is causing great in- terest at the Royal Academy, paints | with” what are probably the longest brushes of the kind in the world. Some | of them are six feet in length. For some time past Mr. Collier’s legs ! have been troubling him so that he can | no lenger stand up comfortably at his easel. So he sits in a specially con- ! structed chair, and by means of theu; brushes and a contrivance which en- | ables him to manipulate his easel with- | out getting up. he is able to paint in | ~comparative comfort. » ! Indefatigable Worker. Mr. Collier 1s an indefatigable worker | and has probably painted more portraits | than any other living artist. His por- | trait of Bernard Shaw is particularly memorable, and in his London house he has one of his mother-in-law, who was the wife of the great Huxley, which was painted over 50 years ago.
