BAST Magazine is a wayward revision of Wyndham Lewis’s BLAST. It bestows the same format upon a renewed target. It is slightly less serious than its forbear. The title is the first syllable of the word BASTARD, but it knows its father very well.
BLAST Magazine was the short-lived literary magazine of the Vorticist art movement in Britain between 1914 and 1915. It used bold typographic constructions to BLAST or BLESS the received wisdom of the age. It is recognised as a seminal text of 20th Century Modernism and is charged with reinvigorating British graphic design.
