The artists Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Alfred Wallis, and Henri Gaudier-Brzeska were not a set like the Bloomsbury Set or Ravilious and his friends. But Jim Ede recognised in each of the artists he championed something common and kindred, some quality of light and life and line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJim Ede is the figure who unites them. His vision continues to influence the way we understand art and modern living. He was a man of extraordinary energies—a collector, dealer, fixer, critic, and, above all, friend to artists. For Ede, works of art were friends, and art could be found wherever you looked—in a pebble, feather, or seedhead. Art lived, and a life without art, beauty, friendship, and creativity was a life not worth living. Art was not for galleries alone, and it certainly wasn't only for the rich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt Kettle's Yard in Cambridge, he opened his home and his collection to all comers.
