Opposite David Jones’s splendid allegorical frontispiece of an artist at work, Gill writes “We set out in this essay to make two discoveries. In the firt place we have to discover what Christianity, i.e., the Catholic Church, has done for Art, and in the second place what, according to the Church, is the relation of Art to Life”.
