Overview and quickfacts

Vorticism was a short-lived but influential British avant-garde movement in the early 20th century. It was founded in 1914 by the artist Wyndham Lewis and the critic T.E. Hulme, and was the first British avant-garde movement to be directly influenced by Italian Futurism. Vorticism combined an interest in machine-age technology and modernity with a rejection of traditional values and conventions. The movement was named after a type of whirlpool, and its artists sought to capture the dynamism and energy of modern life. Vorticism had a strong visual component, and its artists created bold, often abstract images that were intended to shock and provoke. The movement was short-lived, lasting only until 1918, but it had a significant impact on the development of British art in the 20th century.

The art style is also known as: Futurism, Cubism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism

Detailed Description

In the early 1910s, a new art movement emerged in England that would come to be known as Vorticism. This style was characterized by its use of sharp, angular shapes and forms to create a sense of dynamism and movement. Vorticism was also heavily influenced by Cubism, Futurism, and other avant-garde styles that were popular at the time. Some of the most famous Vorticist artists include Wyndham Lewis, who founded the movement, and Ezra Pound, who was a major figure in its development. Other notable Vorticists include Frederick Etchells, Edward Wadsworth, and C.R.W. Nevinson. One of the most famous Vorticist paintings is Lewis’s “The Vorticists” (1914), which features a number of the movement’s key figures. Other notable Vorticist works include Wadsworth’s “Dazzle-Ships in Drydock at Liverpool” (1914) and Nevinson’s “The City” (1919). Vorticism was a short-lived but influential art movement that left a lasting mark on the development of modern art.
