This book is an anthology drawn from the work of Eric Gill, a well known sculptor, wood and stone carver, letterer, engraver, typeface designer and graphic artist. Besides his work in the arts, Gill was also a radical religious and social philosopher for whom life was more than art, because it was the highest art, the art of being human. His interests were never theoretical and his view of life was holistic, involving the whole person in a unity of art, work, and spiritual values. This volume is a wonderful glimpse into one of the 20th century's most creative minds.
