About the Exhibition:
This group of Vorticist drawings assembled by San Francisco collectors Bobbie and Michael Wilsey was the finest and most extensive private holding in the U.S. of works from England's first genuinely revolutionary and most significant Modernist art movement. This collection was rivaled institutionally in North America only by the body of Vorticist art at the Yale Center for British Art.
Vorticism was a short lived British art movement of the early 20th century. It is considered to be the only significant British movement of the early 20th century. It grew as a British reaction to rival continental art movements. The British Vorticist art movement can be contrasted with these foreign movements, and the differences reveal the areas which make the Vorticist quite distinct. The Futurist was concerned with movement and new machinery - the romance of new technology. The Vorticist was concerned with stasis, and disregarded technology, old and new. The Cubist was concerned with apples, guitars and life in the cafe. The Vorticist was not afraid of looking outside the cafe and observing the architecture which surrounded the cafe.
