Items related to Vorticists, The: Manifesto for a Modern World
Synopsis
Vorticism was a brief-lived but explosive art movement that emerged in London on the eve of the First World War. Its adherents were determined to break decisively with the art of the past and express the dynamism of the modern world. Vorticism swiftly forged its own identity, helped by Wyndham Lewis's radical and influential journal Blast. Vorticist painting was characterised by zig-zagging diagonal forms that were fully abstract yet still displayed a sense of three-dimensional space. Vorticist ideas were also applied to sculpture, woodcuts and photography. Artists associated with the movement included Lewis, David Bomberg, Jacob Epstein, Frederick Etchells, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and Edward Wadsworth. Extensively illustrated, and published to accompany a major touring exhibition, this book provides a thorough account of Vorticism, its origins and its impact on both sides of the Atlantic.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Nuevo. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. El movimiento Vorticista nació en Londres durante el verano de 1914 con la intención de romper definitivamente con el pasado y forjar un arte que expresase el dinamismo de la era moderna. Impulsado por el artista británico Wyndham Lewis, el movimiento duró apenas cuatro años. En ese momento tuvo una profunda influencia no sólo en la pintura y la escultura, sino también en grabado, fotografía y diseño gráfico. La revista Blast, fundada por Lewis y Pound, sigue siendo una de las publicaciones más originales e iconoclastas del siglo XX. Artistas relacionados con el movimiento incluyen Lewis, David Bomberg, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Jacob Epstein, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, William Roberts, Saunders Helen y Edward Wadsworth.
