An important precursor of the Vorticist movement was the painter Roger Fry, who gave impetus to a reorientation of visual art in Britain with the exhibitions Manet and the Post-Impressionists in 1910 and Second Post-Impressionist Exhibition of English, French and Russian Artists in 1912.
Subsequently, Italian Futurism had a considerable influence on the development of Vorticism; for example, on Percy Wyndham Lewis, one of the central protagonists of Vorticism and its home, the Rebel Art Centre in London.
