ARCHITECTS CENSORED
NOWHERE TO PUT A VASE OF
FLOWERS
A protest against the lack of cooperation between the art and architecture 'j£ modern Australia was made by the city librarian, Mr. W. H. Ifould, at the official opening of \he annual exhibition of the Society of Arts and Crafts, states an exchange. "How can the people be expected to develop a cultural sense and to surround themselves with articles which are beautiful, as well as useful, and made by people who are interested in them, when houses are being constructed every day which have absolutely no place for beautiful things?" he inquired.
"In many modern houses there is nowhere to put a decent vase of flowers; one must first buy an unnecessary piece of furniture upon which to place it. In fact, many homes do not boast a vase or bowl which is both sensible and beautiful. It also gives very little encouragement for our artists to paint pictures or for the public to buy them, when houses are being built without picture-rails."
