Futurist Manifesto

Taken from the Auction Lisiting:

“On February 1909, the Italian writer and politician Filippo Tommaso Marinetti  published his “Manifesto Del Futurismo” in the French newspaper Le Figaro, thus founding the Futurist movement. The manifestos that were subsequently published in large numbers included all expressive disciplines, from literature, architecture, film, painting and sculpture, music and theatre to politics, in their world-view statements. In the spirit of Futurism, the expressions of the followers through their manifestos are characterised by velocity as well as by the high frequency of publications of an omnipresence. With the will to present their ideological, ethical and political values to the general public, the Futurists often reached out to major daily newspapers and published their writings, often composed in a sharp tone, in newspapers and magazines such as Le Figaro and Lacerba, or distributed them in thousands of leaflets"
