The title sweeps together the disparate but connected groups of artists (writers, photographers, poets, composers and architects as well as painters) working in Sussex in the first half of the C20th. This remarkable illustrated study looks at Charleston and the Bloomsbury group, David Jones at Ditchling, Lee Miller and Roland Penrose, Edward Burra, John Piper and also at lesser-sung artists such as the emigrés Serge Chermayeff and Erich Mendelssohn.
