edward wadsworth, abstract compostition, 1915
this image greatly references cubist and futurist works, especially in the way the shapes overlap and meld together. this color palette is very similar to other vorticist works but also adds colors that can be seen in cubist works, the blues and greens. the shapes are drawing the viewers eye around the page and right to the middle of the work, which was a major factor in the vorticist movement.

this image uses geometric shapes indicative of cubism, which vorticism stems from and uses as an influence. in this image wadsworth includes a little bit of the palette seen in other vorticist works, bright oranges and reds, but also strays from that in his muted grays and tans. this image also includes a recognizable from which is not seen often in other vorticist works, but it is done a little later and is mostly just influenced by his involvement in the vorticist movement.
