1. Futurism

   Paris : Centre Pompidou ; Milan : 5 continents, [2009]

   "The Manifesto of Futurism, written by Marinetti and published in 1909, demanded a revitalised and radical culture : "We affirm that the world's magnificence has been enriched by a new beauty : the beauty of speed. A racing car ... is more beautiful than The Victory of Samothrace." Reaching out from Milan to Paris, London, Berlin and Moscow, Futurism embodied the thrill of the new technologies that were transforming life : electric light, the telephone, radio, cinema and sound recording, trams, trains and underground systems, ocean liners and aeroplanes. In an effort to embrace this radically new reality and inspired by their anarchist politics, the Futurists undertook the reinvention of all art forms. In their hands painting and sculpture captured simultaneous experiences, poetry was made with sounds, music with noise. In a way that still seems fresh today, they turned away from a comfortable reliance on the past and embraced the contemporary. They laid down a challenge to the austerity of Cubism encountered in Paris, and sparked reaction and admiration among artists across Europe, inspiring, among others, the artists associated with Vorticism in London. One hundred years after its inception, Futurism continues to stimulate, provoke and challenge its audience. Drawing on the latest scholarship and including over 200 illustrations, this book focuses on the movement's first dynamic wave in 1909-15. Didier Ottinger, of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, is joined by a distinguished group of international art historians in reassessing the work of the Futurist painters-Balla, Boccioni, Carrà, Russolo and Severini-in their international context, making this an essential contribution to the understanding of the movements that set a benchmark for the twentieth century avant-garde."--Page 4 of cover.
