Abstract:
It is the objective of this thesis to trace in the art-criticism of Wyndham Lewis a trajectory of a certain model of professionalisation. In my introduction I trace a crucial fault-line along which the discourse of artistic professionalism developed in England, between Bloomsbury and the more radical avant- garde. In the tension between their opposing ideas about the functions of art and the artist can be traced an important symbolic contest for authority over and control of the profession.
