✒️🎨 #WyndhamLewis, English artist, author, and co-founder of the Vorticist movement in #art, was #BOTD 18 November 1882. #Literature
Fantastic to see this expression brought back into popular usage.
Coined by #WyndhamLewis in his 1930 novel The Apes of God:
"...a #MoronicInferno of insipidity and decay..."
Borrowed by #SaulBellow in his best novel Humboldt's Gift; then by #MartinAmis for his first collection of journalism.

Piero della Francesca’s Flagellation of Christ (c.1460) + Wyndham Lewis’ A Battery Shelled (1919).
Della Francesca’s strange, two-part structure may have inspired Lewis.
