BROADSIDE
THE DEMON OF PROGRESS IN THE ARTS, by Wyndham Lewis; Methuen, English price 12/6, \V RITING from a background of personal experience-for he considers that back in 1913 he was himself the first British extremist, who fortunately didn’t. mature-Mr. Wyndham Lewis sets out to define the "disease" of ex--tremism in the arts and to attack it. It is not, he says, easy to identify (he does not, for example, object to the extremism of Henry Moore or Graham Sutherland), but he believes that beyond /a certain well-defined line, which no one | not an artist can ever in fact see, there ,is nothing. Followed with close atten- | tion, the ideas which bristle in this book | should leave all who read it better able
to make up their own minds. | _
