Arthur Eric Rowton Gill ARA RDI (/ɡɪl/;[1] 22 February 1882 – 17 November 1940) was an English sculptor, typeface designer, and printmaker, who was associated with the Arts and Crafts movement.
His religious views and subject matter contrast with his deviant sexual behaviour, including (as mentioned in his own diaries) his sexual abuse of his daughters, sisters, and dog.[2][3][4]
Gill was named a Royal Designer for Industry.[5] He was an Associate of the Royal Academy of Arts.[6]
Gill was fascinated during this period by Indian temple sculpture.[14] Along with his friend and collaborator (((Jacob Epstein))), Gill planned the construction in the Sussex countryside of a colossal, hand-carved monument in imitation of the large-scale Jain structures at Gwalior Fort in Madhya Pradesh, to which he had been introduced by (((William Rothenstein))).[15]
As a young man, Gill was a member of the Fabian Society, but later resigned.[59]
In the 1930s, Gill became a supporter of social credit; later he moved towards a socialist position.[60] In 1934, Gill contributed art to an exhibition mounted by the left-wing Artists' International Association, and defended the exhibition against accusations in The Catholic Herald that its art was "anti-Christian".[61]
Gill was adamantly opposed to fascism, and was one of the few Catholics in Britain to openly support the Spanish Republicans.[60] Gill became a pacifist and helped set up the Catholic peace organisation Pax with E. I. Watkin and Donald Attwater.[62] Later, Gill joined the Peace Pledge Union and supported the British branch of the Fellowship of Reconciliation.[60]
Sexual crimes
Gill's personal diaries reveal incestuous sexual abuse of his two eldest teenage daughters, incestuous relationships with his sisters, and sexual acts on his dog.[2][3][4] This aspect of Gill's life was little known beyond his family and friends until the publication of the 1989 biography by Fiona MacCarthy. An earlier biography by Robert Speaight, published in 1966, mentioned none of it.[63] Gill's daughter Petra, who was alive at the time of the MacCarthy biography, described her father as having "endless curiosity about sex" and that "we just took it for granted".[64][65] Despite the acclaim the book received, and the widespread revulsion towards aspects of Gill's sexual life that followed publication, MacCarthy received some criticism for revealing Gill's incest in his daughter's lifetime.[66][67] MacCarthy commented:
after the initial shock, [...] as Gill's history of adulteries, incest, and experimental connection with his dog became public knowledge in the late 1980s, the consequent reassessment of his life and art left his artistic reputation strengthened. Gill emerged as one of the twentieth century's strangest and most original controversialists, a sometimes infuriating, always arresting spokesman for man's continuing need of God in an increasingly materialistic civilization, and for intellectual vigour in an age of encroaching triviality."[5]
