Reviews
"This is the first true attempt to encompass the art of David Jones in its entirety, from his poetry and paintings to his inscriptions. It is a lucid and beautiful account of a major artist who has eluded proper scrutiny. This is a magisterial book. I loved it." —Edmund de Waal, author, The Hare with Amber Eyes
"Now that David Jones’s stature as artist and poet is becoming more and more firmly established, it is particularly important to have a book like this as an orientation to his complex, exhilarating work. Comprehensively learned, superbly produced - with an unprecedentedly wide range of illustrations - and lively in its exposition, it is undoubtedly one of the most significant studies yet of David Jones, a landmark in the understanding of his work in words and images." —Dr Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury
"One of its chief joys is the wide range of illustrations, while the accompanying textis both readable and informative. Ariane Bankes and Paul Hills have sensibly divided the narrative and analysis of Jones’s life in art between them . . . their combination makes abook at once authoritative and enthusiastic." —Andrew Lambirth, Spectator
"Bankes and Hills have found a subtle and evocative vocabulary for renewing discussions about David Jones’s work, and when words fail, Vision and Memory offers us a veritable treasure-hoard of full-color images to speak in their absence." —Francesca Brooks, marginalia.lareviewofbooks.org
"This is an incisive, clearly written chronological study that embraces Jones’s work into the mainstream narrative of twentieth-century art." —Marina Vaisey, The Burlington Magazine
"This original and rewarding book is, as its subject would have liked, an especially beautiful production. It is full of unexpected information and analysis and presents Jones as a varied and surprising artist." —British Art Journal
