Title: The vorticists
Description: The first exhibition in Italy dedicated to Vorticism, Britain's contribution to the visual avant-gardes that flourished in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. Its distinctive figurative abstraction was a London-based Anglo-American response to Cubism and Futurism. Led by poet Ezra Pound and by artist and writer Wyndham Lewis Vorticism flared up between 1913 and 1918.
