Description
Eric Gill was a master artist-craftsman whose work spanned typography, sculpture, and wood-engraving. In her landmark biography, Fiona MacCarthy explores the complex and contradictory sides of his life, revealing a man of genius and controversy. Gill's art and craft communities were deeply rooted in his Catholic faith, yet he also championed complete sexual freedom. This paradox is at the heart of MacCarthy's biography, which offers a nuanced and thought-provoking portrait of this enigmatic figure. Published in 2020, this book provides a fresh perspective on one of the most important artists of the 20th century, shedding new light on his life and work.
