The Vorticists
were a British avant-garde group formed in London in 1914
w/ the aim of creating art
that expressed the dynamism of the
modern world
Vorticist painting combines cube style fragments with hard-edged imagery inspired by the urban environment.
founded by the artist, writer and polemicist
Wyndham Lewis
he considered to be the effeteness of British art and culture and proclaiming the vorticist aesthetic
/partly inspired by Cubism/
by Lewis, Wadsworth, Shakespear and others, were shown
at the Rebel Art Center in 1914
before the formation of the actual Vorticist Group//
To be absolutely honest this movement isn't something I'm too interested in or inspired by, it's creative and cool and abstract but I'm not liking it as much as i did the other movements i looked into
but this piece did stand out to me and I do like some aspects of it
such as
the pattern of the shapes
the way the first and third ones are distorted
whilst
the second and fourth are in a normal shape
it makes it seem quite trippy
it also reminds me of
Salvador Dali's piece
The Persistence of Memory
but i do not plan on really using this type of style in my manifesto work
