Collectors will, hopefully, enjoy our interview with Cy Fox – a collector of Wyndham Lewis books and art – about how he built up his remarkable collection and then gave it all away to the University of Victoria here in British Columbia.
I spent an interesting afternoon with Cy and his knowledge about this famous and controversial author and artist was second to none. Lewis was a maverick in every sense of the world – his novels were continually suppressed, usually over libel actions, and his art was never accepted during his lifetime. Today, his books and portraits are highly collectible.
