Friends and Foes:
New Statesman, 1967

"Tate's Ophelia.the transformation of the model lying in a bath into Ophelia floating in a stream is perfectly achieved, and the enclosing wall of vegetation enables him to give full rein to the minute description of flowers and leaves, which he could do so superlatively well, without having to embark on the problem, which he found almost insuperable, of putting figures inside a landscape."

'Millais', by Robert Melville, New Statesman, 20 Jan 1967.
