To everyone living within driving distance of the Oregon
Coast,There will be an exhibit of Eric Gill's work at a gallery
called Art Space in Bay City, Oregon, it is about 10 miles north
of Tillamook. The exhibit of the wood engravings is from April 26
to May 19. I got a card on it and was so surprised as it seemed
an odd exhibit for the Oregon Coast. I sure plan to go see it,
seeing the real thing is a lot different than seeing it in a
book.

Best to all,
Barbara

Eric gill is a real hoot.  I think the man was more of a hoot than even his 
art work.   stone carver, type designer, wood cuts and wood engraving and a 
sex fiend.  his type design was a head of his time and his stone carving was 
way behind his time. given the nature of his wood engravings it is like he 
took the most unlikely matrix for his style of prints and made it work.    
and then there was the fact that he was a monk who would have been at home 
with Hugh Hefner.  he had the sexual  appetite of a jack rabbit.

I my mind he was on of the most complex minds (and bodies I might add) of all 
the artist of the 20th century.
