Oral History
Mr. Lewis lived in Inverness with his mother and siblings for a few years while his father was a chemistry professor at Berkeley. After a couple of years the family moved back to Berkeley and spent the summers in Inverness.

Lewis Edwards
Lewis Edwards (1809–87) oedd pennaf ysgolhaig Cymru’r bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg ac yn un a gododd safonau y Gymru Ymneilltuol a’u gosod ar seiliau dysg rhyngwladol. Yn Fethodist Calfinaidd o ran ei fagwraeth a’i argyhoeddiadau, yfodd yn ddwfn o dduwioldeb ei gyfnod. Mynnodd gymathu ei ysbrydolrwydd â dysg, a thrwy hynny bu’n anniwall am ei addysgu ei hun, yn gyntaf mewn ysgolion gwlad lleol yng Ngheredigion, ei sir enedigol, yna ym Mhrifysgol Llundain, ond yn bennaf ym Mhrifysgol Caeredin, sef yr unig brifysgolion a oedd yn agored i Ymneilltuwyr Protestannaidd na allent gydymffurfio, o ran cydwybod, â’r Eglwys Wladol. Oni bai am hynny i Brifysgol Rhydychen yr âi. Yn ogystal ag ymorol am ddysg, mynnodd gyfuno ei grefydd brofiadol, Fethodistaidd, â diwylliant secwlar, yn llenyddol ac yn athronyddol, rhywbeth a wnaeth yn bur lwyddiannus yn ystod ei gyfnod wrth draed yr awdur ‘Christopher North’ a’r ysgolhaig Thomas Chalmers yn yr Alban (1833–6).

Wyndham Lewis Portraits
This title focuses exclusively on the unique talents of iconoclastic artist-writer Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957) as a portraitist.
Wyndham Lewis, 1882-1957
Wyndham Lewis could be described as a "single-handed avant-garde movement". An accomplished artist, Lewis found 'An accomplished ed Vorticism', the only English avant-garde movement, and was the author of more than 50 books. In addition he issued manifestoes, edited and published journals and was responsible for a fascinating and strikingly varied body of work that runs from his vorticist, Cubo-futurist and abstract compositions to his most refined portraits. A pioneer of abstraction, war artist, major portraitist, novelist, essayist, editor andcritic, Wyndham Lewis is one of the key figures in European modernism of the first half of the 20th century.
