There is a feeling of hope emanating from our Spring 2022 issue – whether it is the aspirations of the artists of Abstraction Création, looking to build a better future, the humanity of the images Anthony Gross brought back from WWII, the joyful colour of Dora Holzhandler’s paintings, or the news that Coventry Cathedral, once risen from the ashes, will be celebrating its diamond jubilee this May. At what is a difficult time for many, I hope you may find some solace in these pages.
