	FLUXEUROPA: THE ART AND IDEAS OF WYNDHAM LEWIS
		Lewis was to become a key figure of the English intellectual, artistic and literary avant-garde of the first half of the twentieth century, and few of this talented circle were English.
		Lewis was to follow Hulme in viewing the world through the duality of opposites: classicism versus romanticism, art versus life, reason versus emotion, intellect versus intuition, male versus female, aristocratic versus democratic, and fascism versus communism.
		Lewis revelled in controversy and antagonistically styled himself as 'The Enemy', an appellation he took for the title of a new magazine of which there were three issues (1927-1929).

		Lewis was later to describe it as envisaging “an absolute revolution in the principles that govern the visual arts, in response to a fundamentally altered world”, and utopian rhetoric is certainly a marked feature of Vorticism.
		Lewis argued that these philosophies disintegrated the concrete world of external phenomena into a subjectivist mentalism that encouraged solipsism; in contrast to modernist versions of the self that explored the “stream of consciousness”, he urged a visual and spatial aesthetic that respected the static reality of a common-sense, objective world.
		During the late thirties Lewis had also moved further away from the anti-naturalism of the Vorticist phase, eventually championing a return to nature, not in the sense of imitation but as a transformation of its latent potential by “burying Euclid deep in the living flesh”.

		Lewis, the book proclaims on each of its 549 pages of text and sumptuous illustration, is finally to receive his due.
		Lewis is said either to have thrust his bundle of manuscripts wordlessly into Hueffer's hands, or to have burst into the bathroom and read them aloud, while the editor sat in his tub, as O'Keeffe puts it, "nonchalantly plying his sponge".
		Lewis also renovated his Vorticist creed by publishing a revised edition of Tarr, in 1928, and collecting his early Breton sketches and essays, in much-altered form, as The Wild Body (1927).

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Percy Wyndham Lewis
		Born in Nova Scotia in 1882 Lewis was educated in England at the renowned Rugby School.
		Lewis established a reputation as a man of parts: aside from his undoubted talent as an artist he published essays, plays and novels, and came to be regarded as a satirist.
		In 1912 Lewis founded Vorticism, a new literary and artistic movement of sharp angles and bold lines which went out of its way to reject the 'irrelevant' romanticism of the nineteenth century, instead stressing qualities such as violence and energy together with the increasing importance of mechanical machines in the modern world.

		Wyndham Lewis was the driving force behind this movement, which lasted for three years, between 1912 and 1915.
		Lewis gave the impression that he opposed Futurism, and once said that he attended Marinetti’s London lectures, in 1914, with the sole purpose to throw eggs at him.
		As war broke out in 1914, Wyndham Lewis joined the army, and the artistic movement that was Vorticism was abandoned.

		Wyndham Lewis, painter and writer, was during his lifetime (1882-1957) a prophet of the global society which the WorldWideWeb signifies by its very existence.
		Lewis struck sparks in all directions - as novelist, critic, philosopher, poet, sociologist, travel writer, autobiographer and, far from least, as painter with galvanizing styles all his own.
		The Wyndham Lewis Society has operated for almost 30 years with the aim of making this invigorating and controversial figure more widely known and better understood.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Review: Wyndham Lewis biographies
		Lewis wrote like no one else: "hairy, surgical, and yet invisible" is a not uncharacteristic Lewis description, while modern society was "the moronic inferno".
		But the inter-war years were a strange time, and Lewis was hardly alone in his extremism: T S Eliot wrote to the Daily Mail to praise the paper's pro-Mussolini stance, George Bernard Shaw hero-worshipped Stalin, and Graham Greene's books had to be re-edited after the war to take the anti-semitic bits out.
		Lewis could be intensely paranoid and prickly, and he seems to have been almost physically incapable of not being rude to people.

		If Lewis was an outsider, by choice a self-willed exile, it was due to his refusal or inability to dance to the music of his time.
		Lewis in terms of his art was a metropolitan in search of the visceral and his analysis of the life force was forensic in its intensity.
		Lewis attracted and reacted to minds as complex and unusual as his own; both James Joyce and W. Yeats were his proponents, the latter claiming to be his 'greatest disciple'.

	Twentieth Century Literature: "This implacable doctrine": Behaviorism in Wyndham Lewis's Snooty Baronet
		One earlier study, Hugh Kenner's Wyndham Lewis, characterized the novel as likable but minor, "peppy and pointless" (109), and another, William Pritchard's Wyndham Lewis, saw it as "the novelist's last gesture in a blind alley" (114).
		Lewis himself suspected a boycott, (1) but Morrow and Lafourcade located 12 notices of The Doom of Youth, a polemical work, and nine of Filibusters in Barbary, a travel book, both published in 1932, so there is no reason to suppose Lewis's books were being systematically ignored (286-89).
		Lewis encountered behaviorism through the works of the American psychologist John B. Watson, read in the course of the wide-wandering and heterogeneous research he did in the 1920s pursuant to the project he provisionally entitled The Man of the World.

		In Canada, Marshall McLuhan's central theory of the mass media as a global extension of the human nervous system is developed from Lewis' stated and published enthusiasm for and belief in the unifying role of mass communications, and their role in rendering the solitary human body obsolete.
		Goude seized on the African-izing drawing style of Lewis' martial figures, from these developing a remarkable body of work over 10 years in the media of fashion and advertising photography, music video and sculpture (and in the process influencing a generation of teen style through his subject/surrogate, Grace Jones).

		Lewis, a novelist and abstract/semi-abstract painter (the founder of England's 'Vorticist' movement) sets out to write a sort of companion piece to Machiavelli's "The Prince"-- but where "The Prince" is a manual about how to rule, Lewis' book is for the rest of us-- a sort of expose of the mechanics of mass-culture and mass-rule.
		Lewis had the bad luck of being born too soon-- his observations about the feminization of culture and about the rise of virtual reality, for example, would have been hard to digest at the time they were written, but nowadays they are almost clichés.
		What Lewis gets at (and you'll see this especially in his book "Time and Western Man") is the modern mania for novelty and subjectivism; Lewis is coming at these ideas from the point of view of an artist rather than a politician, so the book is less political than philosophical.

		Lewis manages a light touch even when he is most heavy-handed.

		In the "Wild Body' material, Lewis seized on a "fissure' we might think of as something not unlike Eliot's "dissociation of sensibility' --a discovery of the absurd, the Cartesian split between mind and body, a gap into which Lewis was to pound the wedge of his wit for nearly fifty years.
		Lewis wasn't the only genius who ever made a fool of himself; but he wasn't through yet.

		In 1912 Lewis became the founder of Vorticism, a literary and artistic movement.
		Wyndham Lewis endeavours to show the war in terms of energy - Battery Shelled - in which the symbolism dominates, in which men lose their human form in action; chimneys wave and bend, and the very shells zigzag in lumps and masses across the sky.

		The irony of this tension between Lewis' message and the way it is expressed and represented is something James Joyce, being an excellent "craftsman", may have spotted immediately.
		Lewis remarked in "The Revolutionary Simpleton" that "Joyce is not a homologue of Swift.
		Joyce subtly replied to Lewis by making him the very supplier of the "matter" of the Wake, by integrating the words with which The Art of Being Ruled was composed, and adding more "stuff" to the episode when Lewis wrote more of it in The Enemy and Time and Western Man.
