With affiliate painters, sculptors, designers, architects, and writers, the group sought to subsume the dusty establishment into a new age of \u003cstrong\u003esleek, strong, purified modernity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Futurism's place in art history is as ambivalent as it is important. The movement pioneered \u003cstrong\u003erevolutionary methods to convey movement, light, and speed\u003c\/strong\u003e, but sparks controversy in its \u003cstrong\u003eglorification of war and fascist politics\u003c\/strong\u003e. Their frenzied, almost furious, canvases, are as remarkable for their macho aggression as they are for their radical experimentation with brushstrokes, texture, and color in the quest to record an object moving through space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With key examples from the Futurists' prolific output and leading practitioners, this book introduces the movement that spat vitriol at all -isms of the past and, in so doing, created an -ism of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sylvia Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3836505835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836505833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Taschen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 8.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Sylvia Martin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48450144534783,"sku":"9783836505833","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a620ea05-0e0f-40b7-99ef-2c2d0e85f3cf.jpg?v=1777266403","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/futurism-sylvia-martin-9783836505833","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
