This book begins with the Romantic Movement. The author surveys the turbulent spirit of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century art and shows how the expressive artists of our day owe an unrecognized debt to the traditional Christian artists of earlier centuries. He discusses paintings and sculpture, emphasizing the important figures in this century: Graham Suterhland, David Jones, Eric Gill, Sir Jacob Epstein and many others. In separate sections, the author treats architectural trends, work in metals, ceramics, textiles and stained glass.
