Miles, Jonathan — Eric Gill and David Jones at Capel-Y-Ffin
Mid Glamorgan, Wales, Seren Books / Poetry Wales Press, Ltd., 1992. . Softcover. Size: 12mo 7" - 7. Another fine contribution to the Border Lines Series. Sterling condition softcover copy, with unfurled tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear. A fine and engaging account of the controversial artist Eric Gill's artistic and religious community that he ran in the Black Mountains of Wales during the 1920s, but told through the character and work of Gill himself and another profoundly influential artist, David Jones. Radical catholicism meets arts-and-crafts movement at a former monastery, quite remote, and which allowed Gill to experiment with his sexuality and Jones to experiment in engraving. 171 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
