The practice adopted in previous years, of giving talks introductory to the great Burlington House exhibitions of foreign art, has been continued this year. Last week Mr. Roger Fry described, from a critical point of view, the particular characteristics of French painting, and Mr. Wilenski gave an account of the art in relation to the lives of some of the painters. To-night, Mr. H.S. Ede gives some idea of the particular qualities to be looked for when you visit the exhibition at Burlington House. This talk will be particularly valuable, for although art is international in most respects, there is a peculiar character in the art of each nation. French art, for. example, is extremely different from Persian, Italian, Dutch or Flemish art, which have formed the subjects of the last four exhibitions. Mr. Ede, who is Assistant at the Tate Gallery, broadcast recently in the 'Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise' series on 'A Room to Live in.'
