Interior
Edward Alexander Wadsworth British
Not on view
Wadsworth was an intelligence officer for the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve during World War I. Interior was created in the Greek village of Mudros, where he lived during this time. Compressed Cubist structures appear to shift in space, their geometric forms pushing and pulling as they extend to the perimeter of the print. While in Mudros, Wadsworth wrote to John Quinn, a collector of Vorticist art, to share that he was working on designs he hoped to make as woodcuts later in Britain. In his letter, he praised the technique of woodcutting, writing that he found the prints to be "probably the best in that they are the most complete—that is to say, the means of expression is in a more complete accordance with the thing expressed in there than some of the other things which are perhaps more experimental and less mature."
