...that actually appeared on the R. A.'s walls was a biblical scene by small jockey-like Sir William ("Billy Orps") Orpen. Depicting the entry into Jerusalem, it was entitled by the artist and most morning papers "Christ Riding on the Ass." In the evening papers, in the official catalog it appeared as "Palm Sunday A.

...wordy preface to the exhibition catalog by the French critic, Waldemar George, contains such gems of critical thought as "Art is made of double meanings. Pierre Roy . . . comes out of the infernal circle of twentieth century art and changes his centre of gravity. ... In the view of Pierre Roy the picture ... is not a picturesque visible fiction.
