Sir, Though humour is a complex matter, I find it sad that "the three punters" with artistic interest, chosen by Luke Clancy (January 8th) displayed no understanding of the fine sense of humour in the work of Maurice O'Connell.
He, more than most other artists, has consistently worked to show humour through his art. Yours, etc., Visual Arts Committee, The Arts Council, Merrion Square, Dublin 2.
