They display art in moderate sizes (6)
I believe the answer is:
easels
'they display art' is the definition.
(easels hold paintings)
'moderate sizes' is the wordplay.
'moderate' becomes 'ease' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sizes' becomes 'ls' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ease'+'ls'='EASELS'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for easels that I've seen before include "Painters' stands" , "Supports in the studio" , "Leases (anag)" , "Supports for paintings" , "Artists' supports" .)
