Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Chang FHUI-CHI demonstrates his skill. Chang Fhui-chi; famous Chinese artist; showed how he does it in the Royal Ontario Museum Saturday. His paintings hang in leading galleries throughout this continent and the museum has several in its permanent collection; He has sent $40;000 back home for Chinese relief since he started a painting tour four years ago at the request of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek. There's no fussing over paints or hesitation over execution and no stepping back for an admiring glance when he goes to work. Infact; he sits down at an ordinary table; pulls up a blank sheet of what appears to be plain paper; dabs his brush in one of half a dozen paint pots and keeps on making rapid strokes until the thing is finished other artists may be temperamen- [Incomplete]
