What is Futurism (Movements in Modern Art) about?

80 pages : 24 cm "Futurism, the brainchild in 1909 of Italian writer and cultural impresario F.T. Marinetti, was the defining avant-garde art movement of the early twentieth century. Inspired by the cities, technology, speed and latent violence of the world around them, as well as by the ideas of thinkers such as Bergson and Nietzche, the Fururists created an art and ideology for their heroic and highly politicised vision of modernity. Giacome Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carra, Gino Severini, Wyndham Lewis and Kasimir Malevich are among the artists featured here."--BOOK COVERED Includes bibliographical references (page 77) and index 1.
