About this person
Edward Alexander Wadsworth was an English artist initially associated with the Vorticism movement. In the First World War he was part of a team involved in the transfer of dazzle camouflage designs to ships for the Royal Navy. After the war his maritime landscapes and still-life compositions using tempera were infused with a surrealistic mood - although he never exhibited with the British surrealists. In the 1930s and the early 1940s his work was mainly abstract. He made a significant contribution to the development of modern art in Britain in the inter-war years.
