About This Book
"C.R.W. Nevinson (1889-1946) was one of the most important, colourful and talked about artists of his generation, in an era that included close friends Mark Gertler and Dora Carrington, and adversary Wyndham Lewis.
In the turbulent days of pre-World War I London, Nevinson gained notoriety as England's only Futurist; but his celebrity and legacy to early twentieth-century art history was to be dependent on the war itself, during which he produced some of the most memorable and harrowing images of that conflict.
Following the Armistice he turned to New York for inspiration in an attempt to maintain the artistic momentum he had been generating since before the war, but his artistic career was over; his life as bon viveur in London, Paris and New York just beginning.".
"This book focuses long overdue attention on Nevinson's dynamic early career, drawing extensively on recently located archives and on the press of the period to shed new light on the young artist and the power and vitality of his progressive paintings."--BOOK JACKET.
