WAYS OF LIFE: JIM EDE/ KETTLES YARD ARTISTS (HB)

The artists Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Henry Moore, Christopher Wood, Barbara Hepworth, David Jones, Alfred Wallis and Henri Gaudier-Brzeska were not like the Bloomsbury Set or Ravilious and his friends. But Jim Ede recognised in each of the artists he championed something common and kindred, some quality of light and life and line. In this biography, Laura Freeman reveals the life of a man who helped shape twentieth-century British art and sheds new light on the rare beauty and character of his greatest creation, Kettle's Yard.
