Eric Gill
Eric Gill was a prominent British sculptor, typographer, and stonecutter, known for his influential works in the early 20th century. His most famous pieces include the statue of Prospero and Ariel, which has been displayed at the BBC since 1933. Despite his artistic acclaim, Gill's legacy was marred by revelations of his abusive behavior, particularly after the publication of his diaries posthumously in 1989, which detailed his sexual abuse of his daughters. This complex history has led to ongoing debates about the appropriateness of displaying his work.
Born on Nov 22, 1882 (142 years old)
