THE GREAT SHIP
SIR,—Lord Kinross, in his letter published by you on March 6, asks what has become of Mr. Duncan Grant's rejected decorations for the Queen Mary. The three principal large-scale decorations, 7'he Flower-Gatherers, The Sheaf and Seguidilla, with the working studies for . them, were exhibited at Agnew's in November, .1937, after they had been turned down by the Cunard Line who commissioned them. All three still belong to Mr. Duncan Grant. The Flower-Gatherers and The Sheaf are here at Agnew's and Seguidilla is, I believe, in Mr. Duncan Grant's studio. I hope, that all three pictures, which were designed as 'one decorative scheme and which, I agree with Lord Kinross, certainly rank among the best decorations of our time, will be exhibited in the retrospective exhibition of Mr. Duncan Grant's work at the Tate this summer. If, however, that proves impossible, I hope that I may be able to show them again at Agnew's.—Yours faithfully, GEOFFREY AGNEW Thos. Agnew & Sons Ltd., 43 Old Bond Street, and 3 Albemarle Street, WI
