Rebellion and Fear: Artists in the Great War

BBC Radio 3 - Sunday Feature, Rebellion and Fear: Artists in the Great War

Richard Cork on how the First World War influenced Europe's early avant-garde artists.

Richard Cork explores how the First World War figured in the lives and work of early avant garde artists in Europe, and talks to Michael Nyman about the work of David Bomberg.

Richard Cork explores how the First World War figured powerfully, and in strikingly different ways, in the lives and work of the early avant-garde art movement in Europe.

We hear about Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, the founder of futurism, visiting industrial cities including London in 1912, urging artists to rally and embrace modernity. It moved artists such as Jacob Epstein and Wyndham Lewis as well as the poet Ezra Pound to create significant works celebrating industrialisation.

Richard also talks to minimalist composer Michael Nyman about the work of David Bomberg another of the futurist artists influenced by Marinetti. A longtime admirer, Nyman is contemplating composing an opera on Bomberg's work and its relationship to the First World War.

Richard Cork explores how the First World War figured powerfully and in different ways in the lives and work of the early avant-garde movement in Europe. Among those influenced were Filippo Tommaso Marinetti , founder of Futurism, artists
Jacob Epstein and Wyndham Lewis, and poet Ezra Pound. Michael Nyman also discusses the work of Futurist artist David Bomberg, and reveals why he is contemplating using it as the basis of an opera.
