- More about Blast: Vorticism, 1914-1918
The Vorticism movement was founded in 1914 by Wyndham Lewis and Ezra Pound to celebrate the new consciousness of humanity in a mechanized urban environment. It was a sustained act of aggression against Victorianism and created its own style of geometric abstraction to celebrate this. However, their style also measured the cost of the psychic disruption that modernity caused.

The Vorticism movement, founded in 1914 by Wyndham Lewis and christened by Ezra Pound, emerged as a relentless assault against the perceived constraints of Victorianism, which was perceived as stifling artistic energies. Drawing inspiration from figures such as F.T. Marinetti and the Futurists, the Vorticists nevertheless harbored a critical stance towards the Futurists' blind embrace of modernity. In response, they forged their distinctive style of geometric abstraction, aimed at celebrating the newfound consciousness of humanity amidst the mechanized urban landscape. However, their fragmented and discordant aesthetic also reflected the toll that modernity had taken on individuals' psyches. This comprehensive illustrated guide delves into various aspects of the Vorticism movement, encompassing sculpture, painting, literary Vorticism, the role of women in Vorticism, and the philosophical underpinnings of Vorticist aesthetics.
