The development of Modernism amongst English painters, critics and theorists, from the opening of The New English Art Club to the demise of the Euston Road School.
Up to the trauma of the First World War, the author describes Walter Sickert, early Camden Town Group painters, post-Impressionists and Vorticists.
After 1918, a muted Modernism flourishes led by Ben Nicholson, Paul Nash and Eric Gill, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
