Clive Bell (1869 - 1964) was an art critic who is remembered in our day as one of the most devoted champions of modern abstract art. In this 1921 review for The New Republic, Bell explained why he held that the paintings of the André Derain (1880-1954) were so significant - writing that the Frenchman was "best painter in all of France" (reserving for Picasso the roll of the "most influential painter in all of Europe"). The editors of VANITY FAIR saluted the eighty year-old painter Claude Monet, praising him as "the only remaining member of a little group of painters - Degas, Manet, Renoir and several others - known as the Master Impressionists." London's post-World War I art world was rocked by a scandal involving a number forged drawings which were misleadingly signed with the name Aubrey Beardsley (1872 - 1898). This piece captures that moment. |
