This title was first published in 2000. Founded in 1914 by Wyndham
Lewis and christened by Ezra Pound, the Vorticism movement was a
sustained act of aggression against the moribund Victorianism seen
as stifling to artistic energies. Inspired by the example of
F.T.Marinetti and the Futurists, the Vorticists were nevertheless
harshly critical of the Futurists' naive enthusiasm for modernity.
They created their own style of geometric abstraction to celebrate
the new consciousness of humanity in a mechanized urban
environment. But their splintered and discordant style also
measured the cost of the psychic disruption that modernity caused.
This illustrated guide to the movement covers topics including
sculpture, painting, literary Vorticism, women in Vorticism and
Vorticist aesthetics.
