Description
Jim Ede and the Kettle's Yard Artists is a revelatory biography that explores the life of a visionary who helped shape twentieth-century British art. Laura Freeman sheds light on the remarkable story of Jim Ede, a collector, dealer, critic, and friend to artists such as Ben Nicholson, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Alfred Wallis, and Henri Gaudier-Brzeska. Ede's vision was unique in its emphasis on the interconnectedness of art and life. He believed that works of art could be found everywhere, from a pebble to a feather or seedhead. At Kettle's Yard in Cambridge, he opened his home and collection to all comers, showing generations of visitors that learning to look could be a whole new way of life. This biography is the legacy Jim Ede might have wished for - a testament to his enduring influence on our understanding of art and modern living.
