Abstract
A substantial article on the development of Coburn's Vortographic experiments.
The author discusses Coburn's relationship to Pictorialism, his attraction to
Avant-Garde Modernism in New York, his apprenticeship to the American
Post-Impressionist Max Weber (who met Braque and Picasso in Paris), his meeting
in London with Ezra Pound and with Vorticism, and concludes with Coburns
construction of the Vortoscope and the Vortographs (unique excursions into
non-representational photography) and the influence this device and its arts
has had on the evolution of Cubism. Illustrated.
Citaten:
Pound, Ezra
