Wyndham Lewis (1980)

Paperback.  First edition.  Superb catalogue for a show of Lewis’s work in Manchester in 1980.  Introduction to Lewis’s life and work by John Rothenstein, one the painter’s most loyal champions.  Also features Jane Farrington’s ‘Wyndham Lewis: an Assessment’, Richard Cork’s ‘What Was Vorticism?’, and a further appreciation by Omar Pound.  Covers all aspects of Lewis’s career, from the committed abstractionist to renegade avant-gardist.  Condition: some light shelf-wear to covers.  Light rubbing to top of spine, otherwise very good.
