Lecturer in English in the University of York
Mr. Ward not only dislikes the inaccuracies of official language but thinks that they are dangerous. Is there no hope that this official language might approach the facts of life a little more nearly?
Part 2
Two programmes about the channels of communication between artist and public
1: The Painter and his Public
Television and improvements in colour reproduction, among other developments of the last decades. have immensely increased the possibilities of mass popularisation of art. But is there a risk that the new media may be creating fashions and tastes which are less securely based on quality than when. as in earlier centuries, art historians and informed critics played a more exclusive role in directing taste?
† EDWARD LUCIE-SMITH considers this question in the light of conversations with some of those concerned:
HOWARD HODGKIN , painter
Francis HASKELL , art historian
JOHN LATHAM , painter
NANCY THOMAS of Monitor
