Vorticism: New Perspectives

Antliff, professor of Art History & Visual Studies, and his co-editor gathered a collection of rich and varied essays that constitute a timely and comprehensive reassessment of a key chapter in the history of modernism.

Like its continental counterparts Cubism and Futurism and English rival Bloomsbury, Vorticism was created by artists, poets, writers, and artist-writers as a project that defied disciplinary boundaries. This is the first volume to attend to the full range of the movement's innovations, providing investigations into every aspect of the Vorticists' artistic production, from their avant-garde experiments in print culture, art criticism, theater, poetry, exhibition practice to manifesto writing, literature, sculpture, painting, and photography.
