About this event
Early 20th century book illustration ranged from the whimsical (but often dark) delights of Arthur Rackham - whose work was certainly not all 'sunny' as he claimed! - Edmund Dulac, through the ant-war art of Joseph Southall, to the creation of the Society of Wood Engravers and a new style with artists like Gwen Raverat and controversial Eric Gill. It was an exciting time of experimentation on the one hand and lavish productions on the other - join art historian Kirsty Hartsiotis in exploring this fascinating period when book illustration became a high art in and of itself. The third lecture in this three-part series.
