AS IF THE harassed writers of the Beaverbrook press weren't
miserable enough with their enthu- siastic support for the Anglo-Canadian trade plan which received a very cool reception indeed over there (the double think indulged in by an Express writer who has to say at the same time that everything Canada does is good and that the plan the Canadians don't like is good too puts Harry Pollitt in the shade), the writer of the 'Londoner's Diary' in Friday's Evening Standard had to paddle in the very deep waters of art. Graham Sutherland has painted two portraits of Helena Rubinstein, both of which are on show currently at the Tate. The 'Londoner's Diary' prefers the one in which Miss Rubinstein is shown standing to the one in which she is seated. Oddly enough, the former is the one that has been 'bought by Lord Beaverbrook for the gallery he is building at Fredericton, New Brunswick.'
