Wyndham Lewis at NPG

Yesterday the National Portrait Gallery in London opened a new exhibition Wyndham Lewis: Portraits, which continues until 19 October. As you can see from his portrait of T.S. Eliot (1938), Lewis's modernistic painting is nothing to get excited about. It certainly wouldn't win the BP Portrait Award. Sixty works of this ilk, from 1910 to 1950, won't inspire many people to lash out £5 on admission (£4.50 for the over 60s) let alone to add a donation to NPG. If you're an art student studying the Vorticist movement, which Lewis founded in 1912, the exhibition is a must. Otherwise forget it.
