C W Nevinson
Hampstead, London he was born
in education rather forlorn.
Uppingham, Rutland away from home
he hated it, bored, felt alone.
Back to London, St Johns Wood
an art school the company good.
Then the Slade School he made a start
its head advised him to abandon art.
Off to France and the Paris set
Vladimir Lenin and Picasso he met.
Back to London and war broke out
in France too many Germans about.
Nevinson joined an ambulance unit
up front in the thick of it.
In quiet times he'd paint, draw
for his best work he needed war.
