- Summary
- Wyndham Lewis could be described as a "single-handed avant-garde movement". An accomplished artist, Lewis found 'An accomplished ed Vorticism', the only English avant-garde movement, and was the author of more than 50 books. In addition he issued manifestoes, edited and published journals and was responsible for a fascinating and strikingly varied body of work that runs from his vorticist, Cubo-futurist and abstract compositions to his most refined portraits. A pioneer of abstraction, war artist, major portraitist, novelist, essayist, editor andcritic, Wyndham Lewis is one of the key figures in European modernism of the first half of the 20th century. Exhibition: Juan March Foundation, Madrid (5.02. - 16.03.2010).
