Wyndham Lewis
-
Standard Name: Lewis, Wyndham
WL
was an early twentieth-century artist and writer: novelist, poet, playwright, periodical editor, commentator on literature and society, and above all a satirist and lampooner of many of his contemporaries. He was the leading spirit in the art movement known as Vorticism. His political writings included some ill-advised praise of Hitler
during the early 1930s. He also published an autobiography.
