Impresario, polemicist, publisher, writer, painter – Wyndham Lewis was a cult figure in British art and culture of the early 20th century. A perpetual outsider, he brought the speed and fury of Italian Futurism to Britain, combining its obsession with speed and movement with Cubism’s deconstruction of pictorial space.
