Five broadcasts on European painting by Eric Newton
2-Period Vision
Our enjoyment of pictures is too often hampered by the jargon of the art critics. Semi-technical terms like expressionism ' and cubism '—even ' realism' or romanticism ' '-are often used so imprecisely that they confuse where they should illuminate. To clear up this confusion is one of Mr. Newton's aims in this series: to give more precise meanings to such terms; to show by illustration and example how a clearer understanding of the ' isms ' and their relationship to each other can contribute greatly to our pleasure in art.
