Mr. ROGER FRY: The Meaning of Pictures '—V

on 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

THE definite reaction, today, to any pictures that
' tell a story,' raises the obvious question as to how far a picture (like music) is keeping within its proper purpose by being literary. Late nineteenth century painters were never so happy as when they were painting subject-pictures, and of those painters Luko Fildes was among the most popular. In discussing this question,
Mr. Roger Fry will refer to Luke Fildes and, in contrast to him, to Giotto, the fourteenth century painter who took for granted in his public a foreknowledge of the story he was illustrating and so concentrated on the form and spiritual content.
