Vorticism



Vorticism. The British artistic movement called Vorticism, a mixture of Futurism and Cubism, lasted from 1912 to 1915, and was founded by British painter Wyndham Lewis in 1914. It was an arrogant movement, with Lewis considering it’s few members to be of “Anglo-Saxon genius”, which was a somewhat Fascist attitude. The few artists included in the movement were, as with the Futurists, concerned with the machine, but rather than worship it in the Futurist fashion, they recognised that it was something to be wary of. The best-known Vorticists were Lewis, the sculptor Jacob Epstein, Edward Wadsworth, and the poet Ezra Pound.

PARKETT ART : Parkett is published in direct collaboration with important international artists, whose oeuvre is explored in several essays by leading writers and critics. Each artist also creates a special signed and numbered edition exclusive to Parkett, which may take any form, from unique works of art to prints and multiples.

DAMIEN HIRST : "Art is like medicine--it can heal. Yet I've always been amazed at how many people believe in medicine but don't believe in art, without questioning either." Damien Hirst has continually challenged the boundaries between art, science, the media and popular culture. A 12-foot tiger shark,a cow and her calf sawn in two, pharmacy bottles, house paint poured onto spinning canvases, cigarette butts, medicine cabinets, office furniture, medical instruments, butterflies and tropical fish, and, most recently, a diamond-encrusted skull are just some of the means Damien Hirst employs to communicate his unflinching view of the ambiguity at the heart of human experience.
Void presents masterpieces from the Heiner and Celine Bastian colelction: prints, sculptures, and installations.

MAGNUM : Magnum Magnum brings together the best work, celebrating the vision, imagination, and brilliance of Magnum photographers, both the acknowledged greats of photography in the twentieth century - among them Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Eve Arnold, Marc Riboud, and Werner Bischof - and the modern masters and rising stars of our time, such as Martin Parr, Susan Meiselas, Alec Soth, and Donovan Wylie. And it shows the work at a breathtaking scale: the vast page size of Magnum Magnum gives the photos an impact never seen before in book form.
