Vorticism

Vorticism was a short lived British Art Movement of the early 20th century. It is considered to be the only significant British movement of the early 20th century but lasted less than three years.

The Vorticism group began with the Rebel Art Centre whichWyndham Lewis and saw Vorticism as an independent alternative to Cubism, Futurism and expressionism. The style grew out of cubism, it is more closely related to futurism.

Vorticism uses black bold lines to draw the viewers attention to the centre of the canvas which also makes some parts stick out a lot more than others.

Here are a few examples of what Vorticism work looks like.
