Vorticism

 "The Mud Bath", David Bomberg, 1914

I read an article about Vorticism last year in Tank Magazine and came across it again whilst flicking through magazines for inspiration for my project "Transparent Boundaries".  Recently, I've become a little obsessed with geometric lines and patterns; they look so clean cut and beautiful when combined with block colours and shapes.  Vorticism is a perfect example of this vision.  Also, I can't believe the piece above was made in 1914! It must have seemed shocking to the art world at the time.  

Mental note to self: conduct more research into Vorticism.
