- Abstract
The article discusses the 1919 oil painting "Dazzle-ships in Drydock at Liverpool" by the English artist Edward Wadsworth. Topics addressed include Wadsworth's membership in a group of artists called the Vorticists, his role as a dock officer for the English port of Liverpool during World War I, and the rationale for ships' dazzle camouflage. Also mentioned are the outlook for commercial shipping after the dazzle program and dazzle camouflage's effectiveness in distorting ship properties.
