in conversation with T. G. Rosenthal
Michael Ayrton first became known in the late 1940s as one of a group of ai lists closely interested in the English landscape tradition, in particular the paintings of Samuel Palmer. His later work-in several media-has been frequently concerned with a number of Greek myths—Daedatus and Icarus. The Sybil of Cumae. and the Minotaur —and in tonight's conversation he tries to define the reasons for this interest and to relate it to his view of the modern world.
