Biographical History
Wyndham Lewis was an artist, novelist, and critic, who was born in Canada but lived for many years in England. He was a leader of the Vorticist movement.
English author and painter.
Author and artist Wyndham Lewis was born on board ship off the coast of Canada. He was raised in England, educated at Rugby and the Slade School of Art, travelled in Europe, and became well known as an artist and illustrator, a leader in the abstract vorticist movement. His work on the short-lived periodical Blast was influential; after fighting in World War I, Lewis began writing in earnest, producing novels, essays, and criticism. His complex, combative nature alienated many acquaintances, and his infamous novel The Apes of God harshly lampooned most of his literary friends. Throughout the 1930s, he wrote in praise of Hitler and had openly Fascist leanings, recanting after the invasion of Poland.
(Percy) Wyndham Lewis was an artist, writer, and critic. He was born on a yacht in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia. He studied at the Slade School of Art, London. With Ezra Pound, Lewis founded Blast (1914-15), the magazine of Vorticism. His writings include the novel The Apes of God (1930), and The Human Age (1955-6); literary criticism including Men Without Art (1934), and autobiographical books, such as Blasting and Bombardiering (1937). His produced works include abstract art, a series of war pictures, and portraits.
