by Asa Briggs
Professor of Modern History in the University of Leeds
Professor Briggs considers how far preoccupation with status has become a feature of mid-twentieth-century society.

Part 2

Second of two talks by Sir Russell Brain, Bt.
Sir Russell suggests that works of art are images, asks what they are images of and how they fulfil this function. This brings him to the problem of communication and in particular to the difficulties people may have when they look at pictures or sculpture, especially those produced in the last few decades.
