Artists Must Live (1953)
Little in life comes free: one question that should be asked of any art form is who's paying for it.
Art historian Basil Taylor presents the film and interviews several of its subjects, in between leisurely sequences surveying paintings and sculptures to the strains of the BBC Radio Orchestra.
