Vorticism was a short-lived modernist movement in British art and poetry in the early 20th century that combined elements of Cubism and Futurism. Inspired by exhibitions in 1912-1913, Vorticism was characterized by geometric fragmentation and machine-like imagery. Wyndham Lewis was a co-founder who edited the literary magazine Blast and developed a style of geometric abstraction. Other Vorticist artists included David Bomberg, known for his dynamic angular representations of the human form using limited colors, and E. McKnight Kauffer, a graphic designer whose posters showed influences of Futurism, Cubism and Vorticism.
