DESCRIPTION

Wyndham Lewis

TRANSCRIPT

  • Artists whoss whoWyndam Lewis

  • British painter Wyndham Lewis was the son of a British mother and a

    wealthy American father. He studied at the Slade School, 18981901, then lived mostly in Paris. From 1911 he developed an angular,

    machine-like, semi-abstract style that had affinities with both Cubism

    and Futurism to create self-portraits and other various paintings in a

    unique style.

  • Inspiration

    Although I cannot find any definite proof of inspiration for his work I

    believe that during his involvement in the first world war as an artillery officer, could have influenced his work, he did dedicated

    paintings for the war and his angular machine like paintings may

    have been inspired by this.
