Title: In defence of Afro-Asian art
Author: Balraj Khanna
An artist featured in The Other Story responds to some of the comments made in a previous review by the art critic, Brian Sewell. From the letter: “I was appalled by Brian Sewell’s article about the current exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, The Other Story, which celebrates the contribution of Asian, African and Caribbean artists to post-war Britain (London Magazine, November 26). It was highly prejudiced and grossly misleading. It is mind boggling that he should summarily dismiss all contemporary artists from the entire non-Western world as quite simply “not good enough.”“
