Förlagets beskrivning
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. Founded in 1914 by Wyndham Lewis and christened by Ezra Pound, the
