I enjoyed the four colour and fotempera work at you current exhibition but
it is so different from contemporary four colour carbon transfer work, in
Ultrastable for example, that surely it is misleading to make the
comparison.

Perhaps this stems from different colour perceptions.

I also disagree on the question of historical perspective. If one does not
have bechmarks by which to make judgements there is a danger that what
one may perceive as 'progress' may, in fact, be regression.

As you know, as to testing, I believe that one has to keep a sense of
proportion. As a convinced anoraknaphobe I find it clear that anoraky (or
anorachy ?) can get in the way of the image and perception of the image.
