An account of two artists' friendship that reveals telling details about the ideologicla cracks that began to appear in the late 1930s in connection with the British espousal of abstraction. The association, slight and short-lived, is shown to encapsulate a defining moment in the history of 20th century British art. The moment that tensions appear, one artist stands back from the imperatives of high modernism, to to let in awareness of other things - the significance of place, memory, history, native traditions and national heritage, all now set against the darkening situation in Europe. A schism devleops, leaving the two men on opposing sides of the divide.
