Much previously unknown material by British poet-artist DAVID JONES
is revealed in this large and attractive volume. Aart scholars
Miles and Shiel call him the "odd man out" - a man of many styles
in an era of abstraction, a religious artist in a century of
increasing secularism, But they make a case for his importance,
illustrated by works on a range of themes, including dreamy
landscapes painted in a time of coming war; sexuality depicted in
dense oil painting as well as in the lighter but more complex
illustrations of the tale of Lancelot and Guinevere. (Kirkus
Reviews)
This massive and lavishly illustrated book is amajor critical study
of David Jones, the great painter and poet. It introduces Jones's
better known visual achievements and combines them with a vast
amount of previously unpublished material--sketches, watercolors,
carvings, engravings, inscriptions, and ephemera. The accompanying
text places Jones not only in the context of 20th century British
art but also in relation to continental movements. This
comprehensive study covers all aspects of his visual work in the
light of his experience as a soldier in the Great War, his
conversion to Catholicism, and his Classical and Celtic researches,
and places these against his growing cultural disaffection and the
submerged drama of his life.
