Additional notes:
Battiss has written three sentences under "Some Artists on Themselves":

I can't say I've been doing much work recently, apart from the silk screens which I started in London. I've been asked to write a book on South Arabian art because no one has ever written one. That will keep me busy on research for a long time. It's time Johannesburgers went a little crazy. The town has a very low level of sophistication.
