Gill, Eric, 1882-1940
English sculptor and engraver.
Arthur Eric Rowton Gill, best known as Eric Gill, was born in Brighton, Sussex on February 22, 1882 to minister Arthur Tidman Gill and light-opera singer (Cicely) Rose King. They moved to Chichester in 1897, where Gill studied at the Chichester Technical and Art School (1897-1900). In 1900, Gill moved to London to study architecture under William Douglas Caröe, taking classes in practical masonry at Westminster Institute and in lettering and illumination at the Central School of Art and Design. He was inspired by calligrapher Edward Johnston. Gill received several commissions for three-dimensional inscriptions in stone, and in 1903 ended his studies with Caröe to pursue his work in lettering under E. S. Prior of the Art Workers’ Guild.
