Béla TarrTarr is a
modernist novel by
Wyndham Lewis, written in 1914-15 and first serialized in The Egoist from April 1916 until November 1917. The American version was published in 1918.1 Set in the bohemian milieu of pre-war
Paris, it presents two artists, the Englishman Tarr and the German Kreisler, and their struggles with money, women, and social situations. The novel abounds in somewhat
Nietzschean themes. Tarr, generally thought to be modelled on Lewis himself, displays disdain for the 'bourgeois-bohemians' around him, and vows to 'throw off humour' which he regards—especially in its English form—as a 'means of evading reality' unsuited to ambition and the modern world. This very self-conscious attitude and the situations that it brings about are, ironically, a major source of the novel's pervasive dark humour. Kreisler is a violent German
Romantic of protean energy, a failure as an artist, and in many ways steals the focus of the novel. An indication of the extremity of his vivid portrait is Lewis's own wondering several years later if he had, in Kreisler, anticipated the personality of
Hitler.
