Eric Gill: Autobiography is a memoir written by the renowned British artist and sculptor, Eric Gill. The book offers a detailed account of Gill's life, beginning with his early childhood in Brighton, England, and continuing through his years as a student at the Royal College of Art in London, his work as an apprentice to the architect W.D. Caroe, and his eventual rise to fame as an artist and sculptor.Throughout the book, Gill provides insights into his creative process, discussing the ideas and inspirations that led him to create some of his most famous works, including his sculptures of Christ in Majesty and Prospero and Ariel, as well as his iconic typeface designs, such as Gill Sans and Perpetua.In addition to his artistic achievements, Gill also discusses his personal life, including his marriage to his wife Mary and his relationships with his children. He also reflects on his religious beliefs and his conversion to Catholicism, which had a profound impact on his work.Overall, Eric Gill: Autobiography provides a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, and is a must-read for anyone interested in art, design, or the creative process.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
