T.E. Hulme

T.E. Hulme was a British philosopher and critic in the early 20th century, influential in shaping modernist art and literature. He believed that traditional Western ideas and art forms should give way to new, innovative approaches better suited to the modern world. Hulme emphasized the importance of feeling, intuition, and individual perception over strict logic and past conventions. His ideas helped inspire movements like modernist poetry and abstract art, encouraging creators to explore new ways of expressing experience beyond classical norms. Hulme's work contributed significantly to the development of modernist aesthetics and intellectual thought in the early 1900s.
