Art & Ideas in a Time of War - Herbert Read, Jacob Kramer and the Leeds Art Club

A talk by Tom Steele, in partnership with University of Leeds. Tom Steele will explore modernist art, literature and culture during the war years with reference to Leeds Arts Club, the literary magazine 'The New Age' (which Arts Club co-founder Alfred Orage was editing at this time in London), Michael Sadler, and the letters between Herbert Read and Jacob Kramer. He will look at the emergence of the abstract expressionist aesthetic , taking in T.E. Hulme's pieces in ‘The New Age’, Vorticism and the Read-Kramer correspondence as well as some reflection on Read's war poetry.
