Futurism

Futurism and Fascism were two essential movements in the history of the Italian state. Futurism was an attempt to rid Italy of its past and create a new, improved country through the destruction and aggression while fascism was a radical, political movement. The relationship between these two ideas continues to be questioned. Did Fascism cause Futurism, vice versa, or is there in fact no correlation between the two? I will discuss the interaction between Fascism and Futurism as well as several pieces

3. Courbet and the Rule Breakers Gustav Courbet did not just “record the manners, ideas, and aspects” of his day and time. His art was his personal view of the times and commented on the values he did not accept. He only wanted to be considered as part of the “regime of liberty.” Reactions to what already is or claiming to be free as an artist also has emotions and expressions of belief. Maybe Courbet felt like established rules with the art schools or style were too limiting for his own style or

Introduction The two movements, with more or less abstract tendencies, that first influenced the majority of experimental artists in this country, beginning about 1913 when both movements were at their altitude. Cubism and Futurism, both of which had a great influence in the United States derives from the researches of Cezanne and Seurat. The beginnings of Cubism date back to about 1908 under the twin aeg Cubism The 20th-century style and movement in art, particularly painting, in which perspective

forms, categories such as “prose” and “verse”, and also phenomena’s like “art” and “life” were put to question”[ ]. Futurism brought about the first collages and the different forms of the arts such as poetry, painting music and theater had started to be brought together into something new [ ]. Development in the movement of futurism brought about what we refer to today as Cubo- Futurism, which originated in 1913. This movement brought together important figures such as Kazimir Malevich, Vladimir Mayakovsky

Mina Loy and Futurism Mina Loy, a futurist and modernist poet, uses graphic and uncensored depictions to portray art as a violent force. I believe from the excerpt of poems read in class from Loy’s book The Lost Lunar Baedeker, she conceptualizes art in her poems through futuristic themes of speed, violence, rejection of the past, and urban scenes. Her poems are an insight into the modernist movement and a revolt against traditional views that embrace a new prospective on the importance of art during

Through a number of important essays, Marleen Barr’s “Afro-Futurism” opens up a conversation about racial autonomy and collective agency in a literary space that seems to have been reluctant to even whisper about such things: namely, Science Fiction. Maybe that is not all that surprising given the genre’s predominantly white(ned?) literary categorization that, while it has no outright barred people-of-color, has not in turn seemed to make any meaningful space for them, either . Indeed, there is

support. In Russia, as in Europe, war was intertwined with artistic innovation—avant-garde artists were clinging to new languages of expression. Cubism was emerging in Paris, and Futurism in Italy. Russia artists combined the two, calling it Cubo-Futurism. While Cubism abandoned traditional perspectives, Futurism rejected the past and celebrated modernity. Combined, these two movements were used to express a reaction to the bourgeois society and elitist values of Tsarist Russia. Many of the works

Aphorisms on Futurism in early 1914. The message she conveyed through her text indicated the early cautionary approach to the movement’s overall direction, and it depicted Loy’s clever appropriation of the masculine foundations on Futurism’s principal ideals. Joining the Futurist movement in 1913, Loy quickly encountered the movements conflicting perception of women. Her selective appropriation of Futurism in her prose

resurgence of afro-futurism, a word coined by author Mark Dery in his famous essay entitled “Black to the Future”. Afro-futurism as defined by Jamie Broadnax “is the reimagining of a future filled with arts, science and technology seen through a black lens”. The idea of afro-futurism challenges black creatives to use their mediums to ensure we [those from African descent] are not erased from the narrative in the future as we have been in the past and present.
