DAVID JONES RESEARCH CENTER

Since 2018 the David Jones Research Center actively fosters scholarship and research focused on the life and works of British modernist artist and writer, David Jones (1895-1974). Jones also had multiple interests in the aspects of culture and faith, which made him a perfect focus for the Honors College. On July 10, 2023, the Center held an in-person seminar held in conjunction with the David Jones at Hill Rhythms Capel-y-ffin exhibition at y Gaer (formerly Brecknock Museum), in Brecon, Wales. Themed “Landscapes and Shapes of the Artist’s Imagination,” the event explored the transformative effect of landscape—particularly the British and Welsh upland landscapes—on the “shaping” of the imagination of David Jones and other artists.
