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.
