A fortnightly magazine of the arts.
Introduced by Huw Wheldon.
Tonight's programme includes:
New Art from Africa
Introduced by Frank McEwen, Director of the National Gallery of Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia.
'Traditional African art is dead; the tragedy of contemporary African art is that it can find no proper outlet..... It faces three destructive dangers: "airport art" for the tourist trade; Christian Mission School art; and European Art School art..... But I am also witness to what I believe to be a completely new African art'.
