Reading 'The Demon of Progress In The Arts' by Wyndham Lewis.

In the first few chapters a modern reader might mistake it for satire (see pics).

Yet, his views are very serious and many current artists would echo his stance with regard to modern gatekeepers such as Arts Council England.

He fights against 'empty' contemporary art, and, though subjective, his points remain valid.

Better than expected.
