To start your Friday off on a roll… a curator has asked me to look in to the origins of the phrase “a painter’s painter”. Seems to me to be simply a natural expression, not rooted in some literary reference. Does anyone have evidence that there is some kind of lexographical story behind the phrase?

 

Thanks everyone,

Sarah
