Edward Wadsworth was a major figure in British art of the first half of the twentieth century. In 1913-14 he helped found the London Group as a forum for exhibiting stylistically challenging art; in 1914, alongside Wyndam Lewis, he was a leading member of the Vorticists. This highly illustrated volume assesses one of Britain's most talented and experimental painters and printmakers of the period and places his work within a British and European context. A complete, illustrated catalogue of the paintings and drawings is included.
