Two Mechanics 1912

Wyndham Lewis's "Two Mechanics" (1912) is a striking example of Vorticist art. The drawing depicts two figures, their bodies fragmented and geometric, walking towards the viewer. The composition is dominated by sharp angles and overlapping forms, creating a sense of dynamism and machine-like precision. This style, characteristic of Vorticism, aimed to capture the energy and complexity of modern life, particularly the influence of technology and industry.
