Edward Wadsworth's 'Dux et Comes I', painted in 1932, showcases the artist's move away from pure Vorticism towards a more individual abstract style. The painting features biomorphic forms set against a pale blue background.
Edward Wadsworth was a British artist associated with Vorticism, a short-lived but influential modernist movement that emerged in Britain before the First World War. Wadsworth served in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve during the war, an experience that influenced his later work. After the war, Wadsworth moved away from pure Vorticism, developing a more individual style that often incorporated abstract and geometric forms. He was also interested in the visual language of maritime subjects, reflecting his wartime service. 'Dux et Comes I', created in 1932, exemplifies Wadsworth's post-Vorticist style. The painting features two biomorphic forms, one white and one dark brown, set against a pale blue background. These shapes, while abstract, suggest a sense of interaction or relationship. The white form on the left has a blue 'eye', while the form on the right has a red 'eye'. The composition is carefully balanced, with the shapes arranged to create a sense of depth and movement. The smooth surfaces and precise lines contribute to the painting's clean, modern aesthetic.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
