Wyndham Lewis Exhibitions, National Portrait Gallery

英国画家和作家温德姆·刘易斯（1882-1957）一直被认为是第一次世界大战前英国抽象绘画运动的先驱。但是，特别是自从保罗·爱德华兹（Paul Edwards）的学术研究《温德姆·刘易斯：画家和作家》（Wyndham Lewis：Painter and Writer）于2000年出版以来，他作为画家的活动的其他方面和阶段被认为至少同样复杂和有益。因此，泰特英国美术馆和国家肖像画廊将在2008年夏季举办其中两个方面的协调展览：泰特英国美术馆以“创造”为主题的想象作品，以及肖像（特别是刘易斯的朋友和现代主义者，如T。S.艾略特和詹姆斯乔伊斯）在国家肖像画廊。知识转移奖学金使爱德华兹教授能够通过共同策划展览和撰写论文，为画廊提供更全面的帮助，这些论文将帮助参观者根据他对展览的研究和他的论点来理解展览的作品。在他的研究中。刘易斯的成就和他对现代英国绘画的贡献的性质的平衡将变得更加清晰和更好地理解的结果。该项目应成为未来合作的典范。该研究员还将学习组织，选择和悬挂展览的实践方面，并将这些知识带回巴斯温泉大学的“艺术实验室”，以期将其纳入课程。

The British painter and writer, Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957), has always been well-known as the leader of the Vorticist movement, which pioneered abstract painting in England just before the First World War. But, especially since the publication of Paul Edwards's academic study, 'Wyndham Lewis: Painter and Writer', in 2000, other aspects and phases of his activity as a painter have been proposed as at least equally complex and rewarding. Tate Britain and the National Portrait Gallery are therefore holding co-ordinated exhibitions of two of these aspects during the summer of 2008: works of imagination on the theme of 'creation' at Tate Britain, and portraits (particularly of Lewis's friends and fellow-modernists, such as T. S. Eliot and James Joyce) at the National Portrait Gallery. The Knowledge Transfer Fellowship enables Professor Edwards to give much fuller help to the galleries by co-curating the exhibitions and writing essays that will help visitors understand the works exhibited in the light of the research he has carried out on them and the argument he developed in his study. The balance of Lewis's achievement and the nature of his contribution to modern British painting will become clearer and better understood as a result. The project should form a model of future collaboration. The fellow will also learn about the practical side of organising, selecting and hanging exhibitions, and will take this knowledge back to the 'Artswork Lab' at Bath Spa University, with a view to incorporating it into the curriculum.
