Paperback edition of the authoritative Guggenheim catalog on the Italian avant-garde movement
Italian Futurism was officially launched in 1909 when F.T. Marinetti published his "The Founding and Manifesto of Futurism." This catalog considerably advances the scholarship and understanding of an influential 20th-century artistic movement. As part of the first comprehensive overview of Italian Futurism to be presented in the United States, this publication examines the historical sweep of Futurism from its inception with Marinetti's manifesto through the rise of Italian fascism and the movement's demise at the end of World War II. Presenting over 300 works created between 1909 and 1944 by artists, writers, designers and composers such as Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Fortunato Depero, Gerardo Dottori, Marinetti, Ivo Pannaggi, Rosa Rosà, Luigi Russolo, Tato and many others, this publication encompasses not only painting and sculpture but also architecture, design, ceramics, fashion, film, photography, advertising, poetry, publications, music, theater and performance.
