Thanks.<br /><br />But I'm dumbfounded: Wyndham "Lewis is our most important Modernist of the first half of the 20th Century"??? This assertion is wholly unbacked by art or literary history. It serves as a language model, especially for blog writers, of the unpondered, unauthorative, uninformed 'remark." It teaches the distinctions between opinion and knowledge, comment and criticism, shallow and deep study. To say that Lewis is our most important Modernist. . . is merely to say that "I,I,I like him."<br /><br />In the first half of the 20th Century, the "most important Modernist[s]" by overwhelming consensus from conservatist academics to avante-garde-ists:<br />--in art, Picasso<br />--in film, Eisenstein<br />--in poetry, Pound<br />--in fiction, Joyce<br />--in music, Schoenberg<br /><br />Although a fascinating figure, Lewis was a phenomenon of several years only, little more than a footnote to 2Oth Century Modernism. Had he not drawn to his movement Ezra Pound, Gaudier-Brzeska, and other artistic luminaries, it's quite possible that his coming and going would scarcely be remembered.<br /><br />~Stanton Hagereccepuerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14888513741263738417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459763654006375392.post-52647867040810272012009-01-19T11:08:00.000-06:002009-01-19T11:08:00.000-06:00Lewis was a visionary for whom the most ordinary s...Lewis was a visionary for whom the most ordinary scenes became the means of intense seeing . . . In a way quite distinct from Eliot or Joyce, Lewis made the press and radio, movies and television modes of his vision.<BR/><BR/>- Marshall McLuhanquantum retrocausalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356824142105136007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459763654006375392.post-37169064935287108222009-01-19T11:07:00.000-06:002009-01-19T11:07:00.000-06:00Lewis was an 'avant-garde' all by himself, the gre...Lewis was an 'avant-garde' all by himself, the greatest pictorial draughtsman of his time, the most controversial prose stylist of our day.<BR/><BR/>- Marshall McLuhanquantum retrocausalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356824142105136007noreply@blogger.com
