A Boatload of Gauguins
Having sat through many showings of colour slides brought back by enthusiastic but amateur travellers, “PIM” feels that Matson Lines may have a lot to answer for in making a compli mentary art course available to passengers leaving Sydney on “Monterey”, in November.
For the second year in succession, passengers on the three weeks voyage will get 45 hours of instruction from Vincenzo, an American portrait painter and art instructor. ; There will be sketching trips at each port of call en route, and no doubt Auckland, Suva, Pago Pago and Honolulu will be f'done” in oils and water colours by formidable American matrons and retired advertising executives 'whose floral shirts will dim the tropical vegetation into a mere riot of colour.
These “advanced amateurs” and “beginners” will be shown how to frame their works at the end of the voyage.
