Vorticism: A Keyword in Critical Theory

由刘易斯和庞德等人合力推动的漩涡主义是1910年代唯一发端于英国本土的先锋派文艺运动,该运动及其喉舌刊物《轰炸》以其激进思想和不拘一格将被永远载入现代主义史册。以刘易斯、庞德为首的漩涡主义艺术家们追求艺术自主创新的精神一直为后人所敬佩和追随;他们提出的漩涡主义理念并藉此创作出的漩涡主义文艺作品成为现代主义运动中不可多得的文化财富。新世纪以来,漩涡主义视觉艺术作品展不断启幕,庞德、刘易斯等漩涡主义文学作品研究不断深入,漩涡主义在百年之后大有获得新生之势。

Vorticism, collaboratively promoted by Wyndham Lewis, Ezra Pound and others, is the only avant-garde arts and literary movement originated in England in the 1910s, and will be remembered, together with its official mouthpiece Blast, for its radicalism and eclecticism in the history of Modernism forever. Led by Lewis and Pound, the Vorticists＇ pursuit of artistic innovation and independence has been greatly admired and followed by later generations; and their Vorticist concepts and Vorticist works （both visual and literary） have become exceptional treasures of the Modernist Movement. With the advent of the new century, there have been quite a few Vorticist Arts Exhibitions as well as deepening explorations into the Vorticist literary works of Pound and Lewis, which betokens a renaissance for Vorticism after its centenary.
