[7] (Tate Gallery Archive: 8816. 181) The lecture transcript is titled An Influence of Buildings on the Graphic Arts in the West. An apparently contemporary pencil note to Rudolf Arnheim's Art and Visual Perception first published in 1954 and, in the text, to Stokes' own Michelangelo of 1955 give a terminus post quem for the lecture. The ideas contained in the lecture both refer back to Smooth and Rough ( 1951) and reflect, or anticipate, views contained in The Painting of our Time (1961). These dates suggest the lecture was written late fifties or earlier sixties although, of course, it could possibly be later. In itself it forms an original and lucid essay summarizing Stokes' views on the inter-relation of architecture and the graphic arts.
