Wyndham Lewis, a multifaceted genius, was a pivotal figure in the 20th-century avant-garde, founding the Vorticism movement in 1914. His work as a painter and writer showcases a distinct visual style characterized by precision and mechanistic formality. This unique approach translated into his satirical prose, where characters often resemble automata, reflecting his challenge to the dominant stream of consciousness technique popularized by contemporaries like Joyce and Woolf. Lewis's contributions span various artistic disciplines, making him a complex and influential figure in modern literature and art.
