	Eric Gill Prints - Eric Gill 1882-1940 by British Printmakers 1855-1955 Garton & Co and Scolar Press
		Gill’s early training there under the calligrapher and stonemason, Edward Johnston, is reflected within the purity and severity of his work; his forms lose all extraneous and superfluous detail in favour of a more austere and abstract method of representation, which has come to be recognised as neo-Byzantine and anti-naturalistic.
		Gill’s Roman Catholic views were influential upon the community and in 1917 a religious order of artists was conceived, and in 1921 members of the community formed the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic (which exists today).
		Gill’s often radical approaches set him apart from other contemporaneous engravers: he did not stick solely to the white-line method, nor was he afraid to experiment with the inclusion of large areas of white in his engravings through the cutting away of the equivalent areas from the block.

	Eric Gill
		Eric was born at Brighton on 22 February 1882 and was the eldest son and second child of Arthur Tidman Gill, the latter at that time a non-conformist minister of the Countess of Huntington's Connection.
		Eric was a friend of Osmund Daughty the assistant organist and, as recorded on the memorial, Percy was both in the choir and a bellringer at the cathedral.
		Eric Gill maintained a daily diary from 1898 until his death in 1940 and it was felt that an important aspect of establishing provenance was to try and find reference to the carvings in his diaries.

	MODERN BRITISH ART - Eric Gill biography
		Gill was one of the chief protagonists in the movement for the revival of direct carving, and his work usually has an impressive simplicity of conception; he wrote that his "inability to draw naturalistically was, instead of a drawback, no less than my salvation.
		His unconventional behaviour was well known in his own time, but the most bizarre and unpleasant aspects of his life were not revealed until the publication of Fiona MacCarthy’s biography in 1989; he had incestuous relationships with two of his sisters and two of his daughters and sexual congress with a dog.
		Gill was a major figure in the revival of book design and typography.

		This is a good time to reconsider Gill, a quarter of a century after revelations of adultery, incest and relations with his dog caused a furore in the Catholic press, leading to the Mothers' Union call for the dismantling of his Stations of the Cross in Westminster Cathedral.
		Gill responded to this ideal of virtuous apartness in a sequence of notoriously rigorous art and craft communities from which he fulminated against the 20th-century horrors of typewriters, Bird's custard powder, contraception and men wearing the trousers that constricted and degraded "man's most precious ornament".
		The discovery of Gill's precise and candid records in his diaries of his various sexual adventures and experiments was the sort of coup any biographer would long for and yet in some way dread.

	Eric Gill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Eric Gill (1882–1940) was active in many different fields, from wood engraving to sculpture, yet he always proclaimed his love for one of his earliest skills, letter-cutting in stone, which he continued to practice throughout his life.
		Gill turned to type designing in the 1920s when the Monotype Corporation commissioned him to draw the Perpetua® typeface, a design based on his stone-cut letters.
		The Gill Sans® design, Gill’s most widely-used typeface, was released by Monotype in 1928 as a set of capitals, to which lowercase letters were added the following year.

		Eric's parents were so sincerely religious minded that he never lost his grasp on the eternal verities, even though in a later period, for reasons which will be explained, his grip was weakened.
		Gill denied that it was as a moral being that man had a right to private ownership.
		There was no back-to-the-land sentiment behind this, though Gill always loved the earth, and especially "the earth that man has loved for his daily bread and the pathos of his plight." What was behind the move was the conviction that crowded city quarters were no place to raise children.

		Gill had always been a High Church Anglican, but by 1913 he had decided to convert to Catholicism, and he remained a devout adherent for the rest of his life.
