Blast!!
‘Vorticism was a radical art movement that shone briefly but brightly in the years before and during World War I.’
A few months back, I picked up Black Sparrow Press’ reprints of Wyndham Lewis’ Vorticist journal Blast Magazine. Vorticism was the British entry into the realm of modern art.
There were only two issues – which ‘blasted’ old Edwardian forms in favor of the new machine aesthetic that was about to take over the world.
Out with the old, in with the new, as it were.
The two issues of Blast – there were only two – are available for browsing at issuu. Check them out here and here.
I see a connection between Lewis’ work and the original production design of TRON. But that may just be me.
There is also a retrospective now going on at the Tate. Video referencing the work of Vorticist practitioner Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (1891-1915), below.
