vorticism
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008
vorticism , short-lived 20th-century art movement related to futurism . Its members sought to simplify forms into machinelike angularity. Its principal exponent was a French sculptor, Gaudier-Brzeska . The movement, however, had its largest following in England, where Wyndham Lewis, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, and T. S. Eliot wrote about it.
Bibliography: See W. C. Wees, Vorticism and the English Avant-Garde, 1910-1915 (1972).
