Description
Eric Gill and David Jones at Capel-Y-Ffin is a story of artistic and religious community in 1920s Wales. In this book, Jonathan Miles explores the radical Catholicism of Eric Gill and the Arts and Crafts-style focus on handmade craftsmanship that defined their time together. The remote location of Capel-y-ffin offered both Gill and Jones a chance to explore their creativity and spirituality. For Gill, it was a period of intense religious thinking, while for Jones, it was an opportunity to escape his wartime experiences and find a new sense of cultural home. Miles draws on new images and research to bring this fascinating story to life. This book offers a fresh perspective on the lives and work of two of Britain's most significant twentieth-century artists, and is a page-turning narrative that is both accessible and engaging.
