It is now difficult to know what artist Wyndham Lewis really meant when he spoke about his group of friends in 1937 saying “we are the first men of a future that has not materialized”. He may have thought this about his own time only, but it strikes me that this statement rings equally true again today and I can but take hope from this thought as, though constantly reminded of difficult, even apocalyptic decades ahead, there also remains potential for a positive future, indeed a future which ultimately remains entirely unpredictable apart from the one certainty that it surely will be different than we ever can anticipate.
