Harold Gilman: An Appreciation by Wyndham Lewis (1919)

“My own interests in painting lie in different channels to those navigated by Gilman” Lewis writes. “I admired much of his work, had a great relish and liking for him; but I am not so well equipped as some more closely associated with him in his work to give a specific account of it. But I hope that this personal sketch of him, and indication of the character and history of his talent, will serve, in the interim, to accompany the first photograph-collection of his paintings. I am sure that his work is of consequence, and that his memory will be attended to accordingly.” Fine first edition copy of an this important Wyndham Lewis title extolling the work of his friend Harold Gilman. One of only 500 copies printed.  Also features an essay by Louis F Ferguson.
