Vorticism

On this page:  {The Usual Suspects}

   "At the heart of a whirlpool, is a great silent 
    place where all the energy is concentrated.
    And there, at the point of concentration, 
    is the Vorticisr."  -- Wyndham Lewis

"Vorticism was founded in 1914 by the writer and painter Lewis Wyndham
(1884-1957) to re-invigorate British Art with and indigenous
movement intended to rival contential European Cubism, 
Futurism, and Expressionism. Almost immediately engulfed
by the onset of WW I, Lewis and his colleagues never-the-less
managed to produce and impressive body of work which included
paintings characterised by slashing blocks of colour, 
sculptures mechanical and alien, and writings in which
un-bounded scorn mingled with passionate enthusiasm."
