Original Toronto Star caption: There was a time when the late painter Miller Brittain couldn't even give his paintings away; but now; thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Paul Toomik; the tortured artist's work has become hot property. Mrs. Toomik is executor of Brittain's estate and the painting she studies here with her husband is Quo Vadis; one of the works at Galerie Dresdnere. Brittain; who died in 1968; once offered the Toomiks all his early works for $50 each.
