Christopher R. W. Nevinson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson, (August 13, 1889 – October 7, 1946), was an English painter. He is often referred to by his initials C. R. W. Nevinson.
He was associated with the vorticists but is perhaps best seen as a futurist. He attended the Slade School of Art before being drafted in World War I, during which he was appointed an official war artist. A large collection of his work can be found in the Imperial War Museum in London.
Nevinson was the son of the journalist Henry Nevinson and the suffrage campaigner Margaret Nevinson.
Nevison was credited with holding the first cocktail party in England in 1924 by Alec Waugh. [1].
