FUTURISM: THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART NEW YORK HC/DJ 1961 illustrated

Description: FUTURISM: THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, NEW YORK ; hardcover with dust jacket ; 1961 154 pages, 141 illustrations (22 in color) FUTURISMby Joshua C. Taylor From the first publication of Marinetti's provocative "Manifesto of Futurism" in Paris in 1909, the word "Futurist" has caught the imagination of artists and public alike. His impassioned praise of modernity--"a roaring automobile ... is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace"--and his violent attack on conventional institutions—museums, academies, and bourgeois morality in general-thrilled the young and terrified the official guardians of culture. The Futurist artists, Boccioni, Carrà, Russolo, Severini, and Balla, set out to create an art as exhilarating as Marinetti's promise. They translated the kinetic rhythms and the confused, intense sensations of modern life into potent visual form, creating works of art of extraordinary emotional impact. The Futurists' approach to art, their manifestoes and demonstrations set a pattern for many art movements which followed, such as Constructivism, Dada, and Surrealism... and the sympathy between certain Futurist procedures and current endeavors is largely responsible for the growing interest in Futurism. By re-examining in their own terms the works and writings of the Futurist artists in their most creative period, 1910-1916, Dr. Taylor restores an exciting and significant movement to its distinctive place in modern art. Extensive use of unpublished material, and material not available in English, and the reproduction of a wide representation of works make the book not only a provocative introduction, but a valuable reference for an influential movement in aesthetics and art. The book includes a series of unpublished letters from Boccioni to Vico Baer, a chronology of Futurist activity, and a useful bibliography of over one hundred works. Dr. Taylor is Professor of the History of Art and the Humanities at the University of Chicago. A specialist in Italian art and artistic theory of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, he prepared the present book in Italy at the invitation of the Italian government. His fully illustrated catalogue of the graphic work of Umberto Boccioni is being published by the Museum of Modern Art at the same time as this book.
