Eric Newton
The object of this new series is to explain the significance of modern art and the reasons for the wide disagreement between modernist and traditionalist.
This evening and in five subsequent talks Mr. Eric Newton, art critic of the Manchester Guardian, is to discuss art in general and the aim and duty of the artist. In his seventh talk he will ask the man in the street what he thinks about it all, and in five remaining broadcasts he will put certain authorities of contrasting views in the witness box and examine and cross-examine them.
As so many references will be made in these talks to some particular works of art or some particular artist's technique, listeners would do well to read beforehand the new pamphlet "The Approach To Art", obtainable at the B.B.C. Publications Department, price 6d, 7d. post free.
Discussion Group leaders will find this series explained on pages 21 and 22 of the green pamphlet "Talks for Discussion Groups, Winter 1934-5", obtainable from the B.B.C. Publications Department, price 2d. post free.

Speaker:
Mr. Eric Newton

Here is the first of a series of twenty-minute talks in which young men of all classes, and perhaps some young women, will be given the opportunity to express their philosophy of life and their outlook on the world and on the future. After all, they or at least their generation will be directing our affairs sooner or later. It is absorbingly interesting to know their ideas ; both what they make of the world, and what they would make of it.
