Description: During the 1949 Annual Banquet of the Royal Academy, retiring President Sir Alfred Munnings launches an incoherent and savage attack on modern art--only to stumble on a name that brings back memories of a celebrated Edwardian artistic community where he enjoyed the last days of a golden age soon to be shattered by war.
