Martin, 74, a fan of modern art, has joined forces with BBC radio to promote a neglected creative movement known as synchromism.

“They called it synchromism, which means ‘with colour’.

It is not necessary to understand the technical principles of synchromism, he argues, because the works still communicate.

Stanton Macdonald-Wright’s “Head of John Dracopoli,” with its bold swaths of reds, greens and blues, is an example of Synchromism, an early movement rooted in the relationship between color and music.

In 1913 he, with Artist Russell, invented a new art movement called "Synchromism" which was apparently another effort to create illusion through the use of color alone.
