What to read after Herbert Read Reassessed?

Herbert Read (1893-1968), whose work is assessed in this book, acquired in his lifetime a considerable international reputation as a poet, an anarchist, a philosopher (of aesthetics), an art critic, and an historian of and, above all, a propagandist for modern art and design. He worked for four years after leaving school and then enrolled in the University of Leeds; he also had years of formative experience of service in the Great War. Following this he built up a dual career in literature and the visual arts during the 1920s and early-1930s, and by the late-1930s he was a figure of great cultural authority in Britain. After World War II his influence spread round the globe through a vast output of books and articles and extensive lecturing, especially in the United States.
