Hanging a Rebel - The Life of C.R.W. Nevinson (Paperback, New)

The first comprehensive study of the life and work of C.R.W. Nevinson, an important painter and writer whose name has re-emerged to take its rightful place among the established icons of art and literature in early twentieth-century England. Previous accounts remember Nevinson as a Futurist and war painter, but in recent years academic interest has grown in his role in the inter-war period and the Second World War, and with it, the need for a full study of his life and works. Painter, social commentator, novelist and society host, Nevinson can now be remembered as a prominent and distinguished artist of his generation. In this interdisciplinary work, Walsh presents a thorough analysis of Nevinsonis artistic achievements, explaining his relationships with contemporaries like Wyndham Lewis, Roger Fry, Amadeo Modigliani, H.G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw. This book gives the reader a wider understanding of the changing cultural landscape of Britain between 1889 and 1946 and introduces the figure of C.R.W. Nevinson in context, providing an objective and captivating account of his explosive and multi-layered personality. Michael J.K. Walsh is Chair of the Department of Archaeology and Art History at the Eastern Mediterranean University in Famagusta. He is the author of 'C.R.W. Nevinson: This Cult of Violence' and editor of 'A Dilemma of English Modernism' and the forthcoming 'Avant Garde and Avant Guerre: London, Modernism and 1914'.
