| Shrnutí: | Whilst recognising the connection between sound and rhythm, I will choose to explore rhythm and, in particular, rhythm in art. Drawing on the work of Laura Marcus, I will study the link between rhythm and modernist thought and look at the impact Henri Bergson’s ideas of rhythm had on the general public and on artists, including Lawrence. I will discuss Fauvism, giving some details of the group of artists that formed around the Scottish artist, J.D. Ferguson, in Paris in the early years of the twentieth century, and became known as the Rhythmic Fauves. I will then go on to explore the important connection between Fergusson and the magazine Rhythm co-founded by John Middleton Murry and Michael Sadleir and look at connections between Lawrence and artists including Wassily Kandinsky and Duncan Grant in terms of rhythm. I will conclude by quoting Michael Bell’s observation on Marcus’ work, which suggests that Lawrence’s interest in rhythm was not an eccentricity, but shows it to be part of an important strain of contemporary thought. |
