The file contains a report regarding the relationship between Artist and state from November 1942. The report is a summary of a gathering of artists, main speakers were Mr. Harold Reed, Mr. Roy de Meester, Mr. Gabow and Professor Julian Huxley. As they put it: 'an artist is a man who makes things. We value him acording to his skill. We take the artist for granted. What is the artist's relation to state? He wants to abolish it like Marx and Engels, it should wither away gradually. But what should be put in the pace of the state from the artist point of view? The answer to this is: the community, or simply society. The state as such is an unreal abstraction. The artist is patronised by the state only when he is useful.'
