When he left the Slade, Nevinson befriended F.T. Marinetti, the founder of Italian Futurism, and the radical writer and artist Wyndham Lewis, who founded the short-lived Rebel Art Centre.

At the outbreak of the First World War, Nevinson joined the Friends' Ambulance Unit and was deeply disturbed by his work tending wounded French and British soldiers.
