En savoir plus sur le livre

"Futurism, the avant-garde movement which celebrated speed, technology and the dynamism of modernity, was founded in Italy in 1909, but within a few years Moscow and St. Petersburg had become hotbeds of futurist activity. However, while many Russian artists admired the revolutionary zeal of F.T. Marinetti, mercurial founder of the Italian movement, others resented his ambitions to bring Russian futurism under his leadership and wanted to defend their artistic autonomy." "John Milner's text is an examination of the complex relationship between Russian and Italian futurism, and provides a survey of the Russian futurist movement as manifested in art, design, literature, theatre, film and music. The book is illustrated with paintings, prints, drawings and book illustrations drawn from international collections."--Jacket.
