What is the vortex movement

The vortex movement is a literary and artistic movement affected by cubism and futuristic. Its works usually have bold colors, rough lines and sharp angles. Poet T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound are also supporters of the movement.

Although other paintings survived, almost all Sanders' vortex paintings were lost.

In October this year, the Kao Tak Gallery in London will hold a vortex painting exhibition.

Coincidentally, the survey of the two students from the Tao De Art Academy showed a portrait of the portrait "PRAXITELLLA" -the painting was the founder of the Vortex's founder Wyndham Lewis as the film critic Eris Barry ( Iris Barry is drawn -it is almost definitely drawn on the top layer of "Atlantic City".

Into the School of Art of Tao De.

Due to the uneven texture of the portrait "Praxitella" and seeing the bright red through the cracks of the surface paint, the students suspected that the 1921 portrait was drawn on another work.

Two students, Rebecca Chipkin and Helen Kohn, used X -ray and other imaging technologies to study this painting. They found another abstract painting below it, and was finally determined that the abstract painting was the work "Atlantic City" that has been lost so far.

Students of the Tao De Art Academy found "Atlantic City" in X -rays of "Praxitella".

"We realized that when we reversed the image of" Atlantic City ", it had amazing similarities with the content we saw in the X -rays of" Praxitella "," Kipkin and Cohen said. "We were shocked. It was discovered that the Atlantic City had experienced 100 years. It brought hope, because it meant that there may be other hidden vortex paintings waiting to be discovered."

"Sanders is one of the only two women who join the Vortex, and before the World War I, she is also one of the most radical painters. Only a few people in Europe have created this sharp abstract painting and sketch," the test Potal Gallery Deputy Council and 20th Century Art Expert Barnby Wright said.

Helen Sanders's painting "Dance" (1915).

"Sanders is a very interesting person, but she is largely covered by contemporary men. She and Jessica Dismore are the backbone of this group," said Wright. " Windem Lewis is a good friend. They are very intimate in emotion, but he has abandoned her after the World War. She feels difficult to accept. A speculative theory is that Lewis may change the mulberry in a anger. Des's work. "

There are not many markets in the Nishimoto School, which may be the cause of the dying of this movement. It was not until later that the radical nature of this movement was valued.

"Blast" is a literary and artistic journal founded by the founder of the Uzumi faction Windm, which has only existed for one year.

"The discovery of Sanders's loss of paintings is exciting and the result of students' research. Kao Tao hopes that this discovery can re -stimulate people's interest in the artist's work," Wright said.
