English Work: a Native Tradition

Professor Ben Quash (Convenor MA Christianity & The Arts at King’s College, London), discusses the artist and poet David Jones, who left a fascinating essay-fragment at his death entitled ‘An Aspect of the Art of England’. Exploring work from the English Gothic tradition through to William Blake, this will show how Jones’s thesis may help us to understand the continued flowering of a religious sensibility in 20th-century British art.
