Scope and Contents

Furnival writes that he sends Dowden the Plakats that he had requested. Furnival comments about the Destruction In Art Symposium as follows: "Most of the people seemed to be really mixed up and quite wrong about the therapeutic value of destruction in art - but I expect that is my own personal bias!" The recto image is an optical image of Plakat No.6 done by Jiri Valoch. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
