More about this programme
John Read's father was Herbert Read, the renowned poet, art critic and
founder of the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, who was
knighted despite his anarchist views. He was an early champion of Moore
at a time when reaction to the artist's work was generally unfavourable.
