Edwin Evans 1923

"Edwin Evans" is a 1923 portrait by the English artist Wyndham Lewis. The painting depicts the subject in a seated position, holding a hat in his lap, in a style that reflects Lewis’s interest in Vorticism. The angular lines, bold colours and simplified forms suggest the influence of cubism while the emphasis on the subject's sharp features and gaze, characteristic of Lewis's work, creates a sense of forceful character.
