In 1912 to about 1915, Vorticism arose in the UK at the same time as #Futurism arose in Italy. It was founded by Wyndham Lewis as a literary and artistic movement.

Vorticism attempted to relate art to industrialization. It denounced 19th-century sentimentality & revered the energy of the machine and machine-made products.
