- Synopsis
- This page shows an image based on the cover of a magazine produced by the Vorticist group of artists during World War One. It was designed by poet and painter Wyndham Lewis. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. In common with much cubist and futurist art of the period, this image has been designed using simple geometric shapes with straight edges. It is in black ink on white. The image is semi-abstract and difficult to read. It shows the top halves of three soldiers in the bottom right quarter of the image. They are seen from the side facing to the left, and are holding rifles that point to the left. In the tactile version of the picture there is a clear area around the soldiers and their weapons to make them easier to find. To the right of the soldiers is the date of publication, JULY 1915, in print letters and at the bottom centre the artists name is shown. The rest of the image shows a highly abstract urban landscape with buildings represented by rectangular shapes at different angles using solid, clear and textured areas. At the top left of the image is the magazines title BLAST in capital letters and to the right are the words WAR NUMBER.
