Wyndham Lewis Artist Quotations

Artists put as much vitality and delight into their saintliness and escape out as most men do their escapes into similar places from respectable existence.

I am an artist, and, through my eye, must confess to a tremendous bias. In my purely literary voyages my eye is always my compass.

What every artist should try to prevent is the car, in which is our civilized life, plunging over the side of the precipice -- the exhibitionist extremist promoter driving the whole bag of tricks into a nihilistic nothingness or zero.

An artist should be as impartial as God.

The artist is always engaged in writing a detailed history of the future because he is the only person aware of the nature of the present.
