Description: "Edward Wadsworth was a major figure in British art of the first half of the twentieth century. He was an active participant in a number of key events: in 1913-14 he helped found the London Group as a forum for exhibiting stylistically challenging art; in 1914, alongside Wyndham Lewis, he was a leading member of the Vorticists; in the 1920s he was influential in the rappel a l'ordre and neue sachlichkeit movements, and in the 1930s he was a founder member of two radical pro-abstraction movements, Unit One and the Paris-based Abstraction-Creation." "This illustrated monograph assesses one of Britain's most talented and experimental painters and printmakers of the period and places his work within a British and European context. A complete, illustrated catalogue of the artist's paintings and drawings is included."--Jacket.
