Laura Freeman on Jim Ede & Kettle’s Yard

<p>Marina spoke with Laura Freeman about her new book, <a href='https://johnsandoe.com/product/ways-of-life-jim-ede-and-the-kettles-yard-artists/'>Ways of Life: Jim Ede and the Kettle’s Yard Artists</a>. Remarkably, this is the first biography of Jim Ede ever to appear. It’s a marvellous book — already a shop favourite this summer — studded with anecdotes: Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth arguing over who first put a hole in their sculpture; studio visits to Brancusi and Picasso; a hypochondriac David Jones; the Tate flood; etc. </p> <p>Interviewed by Marina Scholtz </p> <p>Edited by Magnus Rena </p> <p>Music: César Franck, Prélude, FWV 21 </p> <p>Photo credit: Paul Allitt</p>
