KY and its artists sample

“Kettle’s Yard is in no way meant to be an art gallery or museum, nor is it simply a collection of works of art reflecting my taste or the taste of a given period. It is rather, a continuing way of life … in which stray objects, stones, glass, pictures, sculpture, in light and in space, have been used to make manifest the underlying stability which more and more we need to recognise if we are not to be swamped by all that is so rapidly opening up before us.” Jim Ede Since 1957 generations of Cambridge residents, students and visitors have come to Kettle’s Yard and spread the word about it. In this book the background to Kettle’s Yard is explored through the writings of its artists – including Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Alfred Wallis, David Jones and Henri GaudierBrzeska - and its founder Jim Ede.
