Following a short and turbulent life in France, Germany and Britain, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska was killed in the trenches at the age of 23. A protege of Ezra Pound and a fellow champion of Vorticism, he was a member of the legendary pre-war London circle that included Wyndham Lewis, Jacob Epstein and Roger Fry. This study of Gaudier-Brzeska includes a catalogue raisonne of his ground-breaking sculpture. The book also sheds light on the politics and dilemmas of British Modernism, providing a reference source for those interested in the origins and development of Modernism and contemporary art.
