Beyond Sound and Shape: The war poetry and art of David Jones
Part of 'The Human Being: A Paradox of Freedom', 3 November, 2018, London As we reach the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, this exhibition will examine the paintings and poetry of David Jones, who served as an infantryman in the trenches. It recounts a story of camaraderie experienced in the face of detached superiors, unbending military rigour and inhuman danger. As a soldier, Jones found freedom in a tenderness towards his companions, an awareness of the beauty that lies beyond what is merely useful, and a heroism within what is mundane or enforced. www.thelondonencounter.co.uk/a_paradox_of_freedom/
