I absolutely love vorticism. I produce new editions of classic books for Standard Ebooks and used vorticist artists for cover art a couple of times recently: Edward Wadworth’s Rotterdam for Edwin Abbott’s Flatland[1] and Paul Nash’s The Ypres Salient at Night for a collection of Wilfred Owen’s poetry[2]. As well as reading BLAST (which one really should do), there’s a compilation of art called “War Paintings & Drawings”[3] produced by the UK government that has some prime examples of less abstract vorticist paintings.
