In 1920, some former members of the pre-War Vorticist movement abruptly left the London Group of which they had been part. Six – Jessica Dismorr, Frederick Etchells, Cuthbert Hamilton, Wyndham Lewis, William Roberts and Edward Wadsworth – were joined by the sculptor Frank Dobson, Charles Ginner, the American Edward McKnight Kauffer and John Turnbull to found Group X.[1][2]
The group exhibited at the Mansard Gallery in Heal's in the Tottenham Court Road from 26 March to 24 April 1920.[3]: 246
