Wyndham Lewis: Portraits
National Portrait Gallery
London
United Kingdom
Sun, 12th October 2008 - Sun, 19th October 2008
Acclaimed painter and writer, Percy Wyndham Lewis is widely regarded as one of early British Modernism's most controversial and influential figures. This exhibition presents over sixty works, from 1910 to 1950, which capture key figures from Lewis's life and represent a unique record of some of the greatest literary and artistic creators of the first half of the twentieth century.

Founder of the groundbreaking Vorticist movement in 1912, and a prominent literary figure during the late 1920s and 1930s, Lewis was also a prolific portrait painter and this exhibition presents  many of the leading personalities in the development of modernism in Britain, who were part of Lewis's social and artistic circle.

Portraits of T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound and James Joyce, the other 'Men of 1914', are here brought together for the first time, including Lewis's most famous portrait of Eliot, painted in 1938. Other leading figures from the 1920s and 30s art and literary scene are also included, such as Edith Sitwell, Rebecca West, Virginia Woolf, Stephen Spender and G.K. Chesterton.
