Sadly, such a daring new direction was not to everyone&#8217;s taste as the outspoken art critic and anarchist Herbert Read made clear at the time: \u201cAmbrose has become more modish and Mayfairish, always at the expense of logical design.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Of course, what Mr. Read failed to grasp was how ahead of its time this piece really was.
