The Liverpool artist and poet, Adrian Henri , talks with Edward Lucie-Smith about a variety of interests and activities which centre on painting. Producer JUDITH BUMPUS

' Isn't it time we paused to wonder why the 19th century, with its glorification of humanism, freedom, and the rights of man, led straight to the 20th, which has not only
Surpassed all previous ages in its crimes against humanity but has managed, into the bargain, to prepare the means for total destruction of life on earth? '
