The Futurists admired speed, technology, youth and violence, the car, the airplane and the industrial city, all that represented the technological triumph of humanity over nature, and they were passionate nationalists. They repudiated the cult of the past and all imitation, praised originality “however daring, however violent,” bore proudly “the smear of madness,” dismissed art critics as useless, rebelled against harmony and good taste, swept away all the themes and subjects of all previous art, and glorified science.
Wow, okay. I was just earlier trying to wrap my head around the differences between Impressionism and Symbolism, and now this… Futurism and Cubism being distinctly different movements.
Btw, I’d not seen before most of the works on the WP page. Incredible stuff…
Could this be properly called “Cubist sculpture?”
Very cool.
Boccioni was a futurist, rather than a cubist.
