Extract
Art speaks with many tongues, the immediacy of the image requiring no translation. One does not need fluent Italian to appreciate Titian, nor French to enjoy the Impressionists. The art of China means a great deal to many who think of Chinese as the world’s least learnable language, and by whom a taste for Chinese music has yet to be acquired. The visual arts of different countries and culture-groups have had, and still have, enough in common for contact between them to be mutually stimulating; an interest in Man as maker of images and co-creator of the visible world, implies concern for art the world over.
