In an essay about Sophie Gaudier-Brzeska, Jim Ede admitted his difficulty representing the story of her life when writing his biography of her partner, collection artist Henri Gaudier-Brzeska – whose works formed the start of Ede’s collection and make up a large part of the permanent displays at Kettle’s Yard today.

Explore the life and work of Polish-born writer Sophie Gaudier-Brzeska (1872-1925), including her fiction, poetry and biographical writings in archives in the UK and France, as well as her legacy in the context of Kettle’s Yard.
