'You can take the pictures for granted and stare at the celebrities who are staring at the other celebrities who are staring at the other celebrities (and so on, round and round like that) without being obliged to pass opinions on the exhibits. That's what makes these Private Views so enjoyable.'
Low & Terry, 1934, page 53, 'At the Royal Academy'
