An English adaptation of the publication that accompanied the exhibition Die erste Aventgarde in England 1914-1918/> in Hanover and Munich in 1996-97. British and German art historians examine the only British avant-garde movement to make an original contribution to European Modernism. Initiated in 1914 by Wyndham Lewis and christened by Ezra Pound, it was a sustained act of aggression against the moribund and moderate Victorianism that they saw as stifling the artistic energies of the new generation. In addition to 63 black-and-white illustrations, 40 color plates reproduce example paintings. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
