20 JUNE 1987, Page 22

Sir: I was very pleased about the size and quality

of the repro' of my 'Liverpool Poets' painting (6 June). Which view, I presume, Roger Law does not share. I an glad, though, that it was larger than a postage stamp. But the Michael Ayrton painting, which I think is the one he refers to, was lovely to see and helped make sense of the article.

It's all right for him to support cartoons and caricature . . but please don't stop adding the appropriate painting.
