I came across Vorticism first when reading on Italian Futurist artists and their relationship to the rise of fascism. It's kind of this short-lived art movement parallel to that Italian movement which didn't last very long because all of the artists got shipped off to the front lines. Kind of an ironic fate for these people considering they were advocating what we might refer to as proto-accelerationist these days in terms of advocating for taking the processes of industrialization and violence to extremes.

Interestingly, this art style ended up having a sort of wartime use [1] where one of the proponents of the art movement ended up getting a job painting "dazzle camouflage" on the sides of ships in WWI/WWII.

I believe that they also failed (or faded away) because modernism never really took off in British painting. They simply did not have the modernist spirit that painters of Paris and Italy had.
Yeah I think there was some postwar attempt at reviving the style which didn't get far because nobody had any money to throw at it.
