Blast Issue Lewis Review Seminal Vortex Wyndham Vorticism Vorticist
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the front cover of the first issue of Blast: Review of the Great English Vortex, published on the 20th of June, 1914. Edited by the influential figure Wyndham Lewis, this seminal literary magazine marked the beginning of the Vorticist movement in art and literature. The Vorticists, a group of avant-garde artists and writers, sought to break away from the traditional artistic styles of the time, embracing instead a radical new approach characterized by geometric forms, fragmentation, and a rejection of traditional perspectives. Blast, with its bold and provocative title, was published just 33 days before the outbreak of World War One, making it a fascinating historical artifact. The cover design, featuring a dynamic and chaotic composition of geometric shapes and bold typography, reflects the revolutionary spirit of the Vorticist movement. The magazine's content was equally groundbreaking, featuring works by some of the most influential figures of the time, including Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and Marcel Duchamp. Despite its short-lived existence, Blast left a lasting impact on the art and literary worlds, paving the way for modernist movements and influencing the development of modern art and literature. This image is a testament to the power of artistic innovation and the enduring influence of the Vorticist movement.
