Alfred Richard Orage (22 January 1873 – 6 November 1934) was a British influential figure in socialist politics and modernist culture, now best known for editing the magazine The New Age before the First World War. While he was working as a schoolteacher in Leeds he pursued various interests, including Plato, the Independent Labour Party and theosophy. In 1900, he met Holbrook Jackson and three years later they co-founded the Leeds Arts Club, which became a centre of modernist culture in Britain. After 1924, Orage went to France to work with George Gurdjieff and was then sent to the United States by Gurdjieff to raise funds and lecture. He translated several of Gurdjieff's works.

Kathleen Mansfield Murry (née Beauchamp; 14 October 1888 – 9 January 1923) was a New Zealand writer and critic who was an important figure in the modernist movement. Her works are celebrated across the world and have been published in 25 languages.

Born and raised in a house on Tinakori Road in the Wellington suburb of Thorndon, Mansfield was the third child in the Beauchamp family. She began school in Karori with her sisters, before attending Wellington Girls' College. The Beauchamp girls later switched to the elite Fitzherbert Terrace School, where Mansfield became friends with Maata Mahupuku, who became a muse for early work and with whom she is believed to have had a passionate relationship.

Mansfield wrote short stories and poetry under a variation of her own name, Katherine Mansfield, which explored anxiety, sexuality, Christianity, and existentialism alongside a developing New Zealand identity. When she was 19, she left New Zealand and settled in England, where she became a friend of D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, Lady Ottoline Morrell and others in the orbit of the Bloomsbury Group. Mansfield was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis in 1917, and she died in France aged 34.

Raymond Radiguet (French: [ʁɛmɔ̃ ʁadiɡɛ]; 18 June 1903 – 12 December 1923) was a French novelist and poet. His two novels, noted for their explicit themes and unique style and tone, were praised by many of the greatest writers of the time. He died unexpectedly at the age of twenty.

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani, italijanski umetnik, slikar in kipar, * 12. julij 1884, Livorno, Toskana, Italija, † 24. januar 1920, Pariz, Francija.

Modigliani je večino svoje kratke kariere ustvarjal v Franciji, sicer pa je bil rojen v Livornu v osrednji Italiji. Prvo umetniško izobraževanje je tudi opravil v domovini, leta 1906 pa se je preselil v Pariz. Njegova umetnost je unikatna in težko opredeljiva, saj je povsem odstopal od svojih sodobnikov, čeprav je sprejemal številne vplive v tem krogu in tudi vsrkaval vplive predhodnih slogov, predvsem primitivne umetnosti. Umrl je v Parizu, ko je podlegel tuberkulozi, povsem na koncu z močmi, zgaran in uničen zaradi pretiranega uživanja narkotikov in alkohola, star komaj 35 let.
