Modernism's most controversial English talent was writer and painter Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957). He co-founded the Vorticist movement in art, and after becoming better known for his writing than his painting in the 1920s and early 1930s he returned to more concentrated work on visual art, with paintings from the 1930s and 1940s constituting some of his best-known work. Walter Sickert called Wyndham Lewis: "the greatest portraitist of this or any other time". Modernist sculpture was exemplified by English artists Henry Moore (1898-1986), well known for his carved marble and larger-scale abstract cast bronze sculptures, and Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975), who was a leading figure in the colony of artists who resided in St Ives, Cornwall during World War II.
