Candidates Wyndham Lewis Percy Wyndham Lewis is credited with being the founder of the only modernist cultural movement indigenous to Britain. Nonetheless, he is seldom spoken of in the same breath as his contemporaries, Ezra Pound, James Joyce,. T S Eliot and others. Lewis was one of the number of cultural figures who rejected the bourgeoisie liberalism and democracy of the 19th century that descended on the 20th. However, in contradiction to many other writers who eschewed democracy, liberalism and "the Left", Lewis also rejected the counter movement towards a return to the past and a resurgence of the intuitive, the emotional and the instinctual above the intellectual and the rational. Indeed, Lewis vehemently denounced D H Lawrence, for example, for his espousal of instinct above reason. Lewis was an extreme individualist, whilst rejecting the individualism of 19th Century liberalism. His espousal of a philosophy of distance between the cultural elite and the masses brought him to Nietzsche, although appalled by the popularity of Nietzsche among all and sundry; and to Fascism and the praise of Hitler, but also the eventual rejection of these as being of the masses.

This beginning is significant. Lewis was to become a key figure of the English intellectual, artistic and literary avant-garde of the first half of the twentieth century, and few of this talented circle were English. Lewis was Anglo-American, Ezra Pound and T S Eliot were American, W B Yeats and James Joyce were Irish and Gaudier-Brzeska was French. In 1888 the family came to England and Lewis attended Rugby and the Slade, both of which asked him to leave. An outsider, he escaped Edwardian England to live a bohemian existence in the artistic capitals of continental Europe. Fired by the examples of Cubism

Lewis came to England and was educated at Rugby School and the Slade School of Art (1898-1901). After leaving art college Lewis spent the next seven years in Euro pe. When he returned to England in 1909 he began publishing stories, essays, novels and plays. In 1912 Lewis became the founder of Vorticism, a literary and artistic movement. Members of the group included Charles Nevinson Henri Gaudier-Brzeska William Roberts and Alvin Langdon Coburn . In his journal, Blast (1914-15), Lewis attacked the sentimentality of 19th century art and emphasized the value of violence, energy and the machine. In the visual arts Vorticism was expressed in abstract compositions of bold lines, sharp angles and planes. From 1916 to 1918 Lewis served on the Western Front as a battery officer.

Wyndham Lewis: The Revenge for Love Edited with Afterword and Notes by Reed Way Dasenbrock Illustrations by Wyndham Lewis This is Wyndham Lewis's best novel, or as he put it himself in a letter to his publisher in 1936, it ''is probably the best complete work of fiction I have written.'' Many readers, including Hugh Kenner, have seconded Lewis's judgment that The Revenge for Love is Lewis's greatest novel. Set in Spain and in Britain just before the Spanish Civil War, the book grabs you from the first page and never lets go. It is both a sophisticated thriller about the political struggle in Spain and a meditation on the ethical value of political parties and action. The novel begins and closes with the protagonist, the Communist Percy Hardcaster, in a Spanish prison. The world outside of prison, which Percy inhabits between arrests, is dominated by art forgery in London, atrocity propaganda, arms smuggling, and the manipulation of appearances in every respect. Percy is in some ways an autobiographical character, though also an object of satire, and he grows in stature as he begins to see through the veil of appearances created by the forgers and fakers. The original publisher of the novel, Cassell's, shy about Lewis's ''indecencies,'' arranged for a pre-publication reading by a representative of Boot's Circulating Library (a retail drugstore chain). Cassell's then demanded cuts by Lewis in the narrative and requested that the title be changed from the original 'False Bottoms,' a reference to the string of trickeries lurking underneath the surface throughout the book. The Boots ''reader'' was worried his customers might be put off by interpreting the title as hindquarters. Lewis, under considerable financial pressure, made these and other cuts, but they distort the tone and style of the novel. This edition is the first to go back to the manuscript version and to restore Lewis's original text as he intended it to be published.

Imperial War Museum The age of artillery 38 - Percy Wyndham Lewis Despite the difference in format and the - less obvious - difference in style, these two works may be considered as being two moments from the same story. Through his training, Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957) belonged to the Vorticists, the London branch of the Cubo-Futurists. Along with the poet Ezra Pound, he edited the magazine Blast and stood out as a leader of that movement, if only because of his provocative stances and his taste for controversy. In March 1916, he signed up in the artillery. In May 1917, he met Orpen and, paradoxically modelling his style on this painter whose art he considered outmoded, he in turn became "official army painter" with the Canadian and later British troops. This took him to the Vimy sector, before he transcribed his observations onto monumental formats. A Canadian Gun-Pit and A Battery shelled are examples of this original enterprise - at the risk of disconcerting, Lewis combined the geometrical stylisation of Vorticism and more immediately figurative elements, close to the portrait for instance. The former offers a wealth of detail, with the sheet metal of the dugouts, the mechanisms of the gun, the uniforms and camouflage nets. The latter is more elliptical; a group on the left observes impassively the devastation caused by the bombing as a dead gunner is buried by his comrades. More deliberately modernist in tone, it is based on a plastic language of angles, lines, changes of scale and schematisation of silhouettes. These paintings are thus the product of one of the rare attempts at inventing a modern style of war painting.
