Lawrence Atkinson
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Lawrence Atkinson (1873–1931) was an English artist, musician and poet.
Early life[edit]
Atkinson was born at Chorlton upon Medlock, near Manchester, on 17 January 1873.[1] He began by moving to Paris and studying musical composition, but moved back to London and began to paint, apparently painting mainly landscapes in a style influenced by Matisse and the Fauves (almost all of these works are lost).
Vorticism[edit]
His style changed radically when he was introduced to the work of Wyndham Lewis and the vorticists. He also wrote poetry, in a Modernist style.
Death[edit]
Atkinson died in Paris on 21 September 1931.[1]
