F.T. Marinetti, “Manifesto of Futurism”
Manifesto remains more accurate than any single work of art the Futurists produced in the decades of activity that followed uncounted more. The manifestos were ephemeral, hurled off balconies and out of speeding automobiles, translated, anthologized, and reproduced. Futurism is one of those The Avant-Garde movements of the 20th century can claim a permanent mark on modern art. It was not only art-centered but also a social movement that helps to evoke rhetorical thoughts, emphasized speed, technology, youth, violence, and objects such as automobiles, airplanes, and the industrial city.
Idealist, workers of thought can be united to show how inspiration and genius walk in step with the progress of the machine, of aircraft, of industry, of trade, of the sciences, of electricity. It is clear from this short sentence the course Marinetti’s radicalism will take, but more than that, he will set for the Futurist movement. The Manifesto belongs to a group of political activist writings, and the Futurist one, with similarly radical and provocative discourse that calls for ideological, aesthetic and social disorder, belongs to the same category.
The characteristics of futurism focus on technical progress of the modern machine age, dynamism, speed, energy, vitality and change By 1911, Futurists broke the ground in painting, using the technique of divisionism to gain attention. This was characterized by separating colors into singular groups or dots that then visually interacted.
In Lissitzky’s manifesto,
“very basic invention” can be expected from the neighboring field of collotype. This basic invention is the machine that transfers type-matter onto a film, and the printing machine that copies the negative onto sensitive paper. A modern-day example would be a cellphone. Today, cell phones are capable of photography, editing, videography, or music. It’s Steve’s job and his critical thinking to add all features once a few governments and chief authority could use it, but not like today, using heavy enormous machines individually. It is just an idea that shaped today’s communication and creativity.
Good work Em, you are creating an argument.
You start with this: Manifesto remains more accurate than any single work of art the Futurists produced in the decades of activity that followed uncounted more.
It is an interesting argument but what do you mean by accurate?
“It is clear from this short sentence the course Marinetti’s radicalism will take,” Is this based on the previous sentence? Is that sentence a quote?
Did you use spell and grammar check? “In Lissitzky’s manifesto,” ?
