Fillipo Marinetti
Born in Egypt
Dec. 22, 1876
Context:
just before the outbreak of WWI. Italy is going through its own
cultural crisis.
It is an old country with a long, rich cultural history caught between
its glorious past and its modern present.
They want to leave the past behind so badly that they are not even
content with catching up to the present; they want to push forward
to the future.
They thus embrace all things modern, celebrating the big city and
the machine.
Marinetti created a
multisensory experience by
using a creative and daring
typography in an
unconventional layout, that
had a lasting impact on
graphic design.
"CHAIRrrrrrrRR," also titled "Lettre d'une jolie femme a monsieur passeiste", serves as the cover for the mini-anthology of Marinetti's collected writings and typographic
experiments published in French in 1919 as "Les mots en libert futuristes" (Futurist words in liberty). meaning of the poem sex for sale hypocritically presented as love

A new beauty has been added to the splendor of the worldthe beauty
of speed.
"We want to fight ferociously against the fanatical, unconscious and
snobbish religion of the past, which is nourished by the evil influence of
museums. We rebel against the supine admiration of old canvases, old
statues and old objects, and against the enthusiasm for all that is wormeaten, dirty and corroded by time; we believe that the common
contempt for everything young, new and palpitating with life is unjust
and criminal."
"We affirm that the worlds magnificence has been enriched by a new
beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing car whose hood is adorned with
great pipes, like serpents of explosive breath a roaring car that seems
to run on grapeshot is more beautiful thanThe Victory of
Samothrace(1910).
Idealists, workers of thought, unite to show how inspiration and genius
walk in step with the progress of the machine, of aircraft, of industry, of
trade, of the sciences, of electricity.

Marinetti states that we will sing to the large crowds, agitated by
work , by pleasure or by mutiny , we will sing to the multi coloured
and polyphonic waves of the workshops.. To the locomotives . To
the hedgehopping airplanes.
He places the industrial cities , the new city and the dynamism in centre
to the theme of the futurist moment.
This theme , clearly urban and architectural, is chiselled with a dose of
maturity in the approach towards poetry and painting as is revealed in

While an artist is labouring at his work of art, nothing prevents it from
surpassing Dream. As soon as it is finished, the work must be hidden or
destroyed, or better still, thrown as a prey tot the brutal crowd which will
magnify it by killing it with its scorn, and thereby intensify its absurd
uselessness. We thus condemn art as finished work, we conceive of it only
in its movement, in the state of effort and draft. Art is simply a possibility
for absolute conquest. For the artist, to complete is to die.
Time and space died yesterday. We already live in the absolute, because
we have already created eternal, omnipresent speed (we will sing of)
the vibrant nightly fervour of arsenals and shipyards with violent electric
moons; greedy railway stations that devour smoke-plumbed serpents
deep-chested locomotives whose wheels paw the tracks like the hoves of
enormous steel horses.
Art deals with profound and simple moods Let us suppose that the
artist in this instance Picabia gets a certain impression by looking at
our skyscrapers, our city, our way of life, and that he tries to reproduce
it. he will convey it in plastic ways on the canvas, even though we see
Paintingandsculpture
Marinettis manifesto inspired a group of young painters in Milan to
apply Futurist ideas to the visual arts.
Umberto Boccioni,Carlo Carr, Luigi Russolo,Giacomo Balla, andGino
Severinipublished several manifestos onpaintingin 1910. Like Marinetti,
they glorified originality and expressed their disdain for inherited artistic
traditions.
They wanted to depict visually the perception of movement, speed, and
change.
To achieve this, the Futurist painters adopted theCubisttechnique of
using fragmented and intersecting plane surfaces and outlines to show
several simultaneous views of an object.
But the Futurists additionally sought to portray the objects movement, so
their works typically include rhythmic spatial repetitions of an objects
outlines during transit. The effect resembles multiple photographic
exposures of a moving object.
The Futurists preferred subjects such as speeding automobiles and trains,
