English artist and art critic. An admirer of the French painter Paul Cézanne, he coined the term and championed
post-Impressionism in Britain, expounding the theory of significant form and colour as the criteria for true art. He was a member of the Bloomsbury Group and founded the Omega Workshops to improve design and to encourage young artists. His critical essays, which were very influential in the 1920s and 1930s, are contained in
Vision and Design (1920).
