DISCOURAGEMENT FOR ARTISTS
»ir,-Your quotation from Roland Wakelin’s conversation "Discouragement is best for the artist" might make a catching headline, but a bit more thought and knowledge of the history of art might have made such nonsense superfluous. Only complete ignorance on the issues of true creative art on the side of the interviewer and interviewed could have been responsible for such a burlesque as this article. There are a few who will have got the joke, including the caption underneath Margaret Preston’s photo, which should have read: "She knows more about art than the lot put together." It would be nearer the truth.
