Vorticism was a brief-lived but explosive art movement that emerged in London on the eve of the First World War. This book provides a thorough account of vorticism, its origins and its impact on both sides of the Atlantic. Essays explore its history through its exhibitions and its critical reception. Paintings, sculptures and photographs are showcased, and artists discussed include: Wyndham Lewis, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.
