Cubo-Futurism Cubo-Futurism Slap in the Face of Public Taste To the readers of our New First Unexpected. We alone are the face of our Time. Through us the hom of timeblows the art of the word. in The past is too tight. TheAcademy and Pushkinare less intelligible than hieroglyphics. Throw Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, etc., etc. overboard from the Ship of Modernity. He who does not forget his first love will not recognize his last. Who, trustingly, would tum his last love toward Balmont's per­ fumed lechery? Is this the reflection of today's virile soul? Who, faintheartedly, would fear tearing from warrior Bryusov's black tuxedo the paper armorplate? Or does the dawn of unknown beauties shine from it?t Wash Your hands which have touched the filthy slime of the books written by those countless Leonid Andreyevs.2 All those Maxim Gorkys, Kuprins, Bloks, Sologubs, Remizovs, Averchenkos, Chomys, Kuzmins, Bunins, etc.3 need only a dacha on the river. Such is the reward fate gives tailors. From the heights of skyscrapers wegaze at their insignificance! ... We order that the poets' rights be revered: 1. To enlarge the of the poet's vocabulary with arbitrary and scope derivative words (Word-novelty). "Slap in the Face of PublicTaste" (Poshchechina obshchestvennomu vkusu) is the first and mostfamous manifesto of the Hylaea group (later renamed Cuba-Futurism). The manifesto opensthe homonymous almanac, publishedin Moscow in 1912. 51 Cubo-Futurism 52 2. To feelan insurmountablehatred for the languageexisting before their time. 3. To push with horror off their proud brow the Wreath of cheap fame that You have made from bathhouse switches. 4. To stand on the rock of the word "we" amidst the sea of boosand outrage. And iffor the time being the filthy stigmas of Your "Common sense" and "goodtaste" are still presentin our lines, these samelines fo r the first time already glimmer with the Summer Lightening of the New Coming Beauty of the Self-sufficient (self-centered) Word. BURLIUK, ALEXANDER KRUCHENYKH,4 V. MAYAKOVSKY, D. VICTOR KHLEBNIKOV (Untitled) From A Trap fo r Judges, 2 Finding the principles stated below fully expressed in the firstissue of Trap fo r Judges 1 and having already given impetus to the much­ A discussed and wealthy (if only in the sense of Metzl Co.) Futurists,z & WE nonetheless believethat we have traveled this path through and, leavingits reworkingto those who do not have any new tasks, we now use a certainform of orthography in order to focuspublic attention on the new tasks already arisingbefore us. We first brought to the fore the new principles of creativity which were dear to us in the following order: We ceased to regard word formation and word pronunciation 1. according to grammatical rules, since we have begun to see in letters only vectors ofspeech . We loosened up syntax. 2. We started to endow words with content on the basis of their graphic and phonic characteristics. 3. Through us the role of prefixes and suffixes was fully realized. 4. In the name of the freedom of individual caprice, we reject nor­ mal orthography. 5. We modify nouns not only withadj ectives (as was usual before us), but also with other parts of speech, as well as with individual letters and numbers: a. consideringas an inseparablepart of the work its correctionsand the graphic flourishesof creative expectation. the_Th is manifesto was published without a titleas the lead manifesto in the almanac of Hylaea group, A Trap for Judges (Sadok sud'ei), (St. Petersburg: Zhuravl', 1913), wh1ch 2 appeared a few months after Slilp. It complementsthe previousmanifesto with A Precisep rogrammatic declarations. 53 54 Cubo-Futurism b. considering handwriting a component of the poeticimpulse . c. and therefore, having published in Moscow "hand-lettered" (au­ tographic) books. 3 6. We abolishedpunctuation marks, whichfor the first timebrought to the fore the role of the verbal mass and made it perceivable. 7. We understand vowels as time and space (a characteristic of thrust), and consonants as color, sound, smeU. 8. We shattered rhythms. Khlebnikov gave status to the poetic meter of the living conversational word. We stopped looking for me­ ters in textbooks; every motion generates for the poet a new free rhythm. 9. The front rhyme (David Burliuk), as well as the middlean d the inverse rhyme (Mayakovsky), have been worked out by us. 10. The richness of a poet's lexicon is its justification. 11. We believe the word to be a creator of myth; in dying, the word gives birth to myth, and vice versa. 12. We are enthralled by new themes: superfluousness, meaning­ lessness, and the secret of powerful insignificance are celebrated by us. 13. We despise glory; we know feelingswhich had no life beforeus. We are the new people of a new life. DAVID BURLIUK, ELENA GURO, NICHOLAS BURLIUK, VLADIMIR MAYAKOVSKY, KATHERINE NIZEN, VICTOR KHLEBNIKOV, BENEDICT LIVSHITS, A. KRUCHENYKH [The Word as Such] In 1908 A Trap forJudges, was in preparation.1 Partof the works (of 1 the Cuba-Futurists) ended up in that miscellany, partin The Studio of the Impressionists.2 In both collections, V. Khlebnikov, the Burliuks, S. Miasoedov,3 and others outlined a new aesthetic direction: the word was being developed as such. From then on a poem could consist of a single word,4 and merely by skillful variation of that word, aU the fullness and expressiveness of the artisticimage could be achieved. However, the expressiveness was of a different kind-an artistic work was perceived and critiqued (or at least was intuitively felt) simply as word. The work of artis the art of the word. As an inevitable consequence, tendentiousness and bookishness of all kinds were eliminated from literary works. A closeness to the passionlessly passionate machine. TheI talians inhaled the Russian air and startedproducing crib notes on art, word-for-word translations. They made no verbalartifacts until 1912 (the year their big collection was issued),S or later. That's understandable: the Italians reliedon tendentiousness. Like Pushkin' s little devil,6 they sangpraises to modernityand carried it on their shoulders, but instead of preaching modernitythey should have Writtenin 1913 text was subsequently publishedby Kruchenykh, without a title, . this Unpublishm vol. 18 (Moscow, 1930). 1t was reprinted in Collected m TM Khlefmikov, Works, vol. 5 (leningrad, 1933), with the title Word as Such" (Siovo takovoe). "The kak 55 Cuba-Futurism 56 jumped on its backand spedoff, they should have deliveredit as the sum of their works. After all, preaching which does not result from art itself is wood painted to look like iron. Who would trust such a lance? The Italians turned out to be vociferousbraggarts, but taciturn artist-writhers.7 They ask us about the ideal, about pathos? It's not a question of hooliganism, or of heroic deeds, or of being a fanatic or a monk. All Talmuds are equally destructive to the wordwright, what constantly remainswith him is only the word as (such) itself. A. KRUCHENYKH, V. KHLEBNIKOV From The Word as Such A. AND KRUCHENYKH V.

Datasets 16 A. Data curation. Digital scans of landscape paintings were collected from the two major online sources: Wiki Art (WA) (1) 17 and the Web Gallery of Art (WGA) (2). For our purpose, we collected 12,431 landscape paintings by 1,071 artists assigned to 18 61 nationalities from WA, and 3,610 landscape paintings by 816 artists assigned with 20 nationalities from WGA. While the 19 overall number of paintings from WGA is relatively smaller than from WA, the WGA dataset has a larger volume of paintings 20 produced before 1800 CE. Therefore, we utilize both datasets in a complementary way. 21 As same paintings can be included in both datasets, we carefully constructed a unified dataset by filtering out the duplicate 22 paintings from both datasets by using meta-information of paintings (title, painter, completion date, etc.) to construct a unified 23 set of painting images. The filtering process is as follows.

  • The Primitivist Critique of Modernity: Carl Einstein and Walter Benjamin1
    The Primitivist Critique of Modernity: Carl Einstein and Walter Benjamin1 David Pan In the “Sirens” episode in Homer’s Odyssey, Odysseus, relying on nothing more than the wax in his sailors’ ears and the rope binding him to the mast of his ship, was able to hear the sirens’ song without being drawn to his death like all the sailors before him.2 Franz Kafka, finally giving the sirens their due, points out that their song could certainly pierce wax and would lead a man to burst all bonds. Instead of attributing Odysseus’ sur- vival to his cunning use of technical means, which he calls “childish mea- sures,”3 Kafka attributes it to the sirens’ use of an even more horrible weapon than their song: their silence. Believing his trick had worked, Odysseus did not hear their silence, but imagined he heard the sound of their singing, for no one could resist “the feeling of having triumphed over them by one’s own strength, and the consequent exaltation that bears down everything before it.”4 The sirens disappeared from Odysseus’per- ceptions, which were focused entirely on himself. Kafka concludes: “If the sirens had possessed consciousness, they would have been annihilated at that moment. But they remained as they had been; all that had hap- pened was that Odysseus had escaped them.”5 Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno have argued that this ancient 1.

  • Cubism (Surface—Plane), 1912
    perished because of a negative and exclusive solution to the question of shading. Our age is obliged by force of circumstances to finish what our predeces- sors passed on to us. The path of search in this direction is broad, its bends are diverse, its forks numerous; the solutions will be many. Among them, those connected in our art with the name of A. Exter will remain as an ex- ample of courage, freedom, and subtlety. The upsurge of strength and courage in the plastic arts wanes neither beyond the Rhine nor at home, and it is expressed in the high level of pure painting unprecedented in our coun- try, a phenomenon that is characteristic of its contemporary state. DAVID BURLIUK Cubism (Surface—Plane), 1912 For biography see p. 8. The text of this piece, "Kubizm," is from an anthology of poems, prose pieces, and articles, Poshchechina obshchestvennomu vkusu [A Slap in the Face of Public Taste] (Moscow, December 1912 [according to bibl. R350, p. 17, although January 1913, according to KL], pp. 95-101 [bibl. R275]. The collection was prefaced by the famous declaration of the same name signed by David Burliuk, Velimir Khlebni- kov, Aleksei Kruchenykh, and Vladimir Mayakovsky and dated December 1912. The volume also contained a second essay by David Burliuk on texture [bibl. R269], verse by Khlebnikov and Benedikt Livshits, and four prose sketches by Vasilii Kan- dinsky [for further details see bibl. 133, pp. 45-50]. Both the essay on cubism and the one on texture were signed by N. Burliuk, although it is obvious that both were written by David and not by Nikolai (David's youngest brother and a poet of some merit).

  • Visual Arts – Specific Rules/Guidelines
    Visual Arts – Specific Rules/Guidelines VISUAL ARTS include many art forms that are visual in nature. The artist (student submitting entry) is a person who captures their own thoughts and ideas to create a visual piece of art. Accepted forms of visual art include: Collages, photographic collages (multiple photos cut/pasted), computer-generated image, design, drawing, painting, and printmaking. Non-accepted forms of visual art include: 3D artwork (artwork that is not flat on the surface). Reproductions or enlargements of another artwork. Reflect on the 2020-2021 Theme: I Matter Because… An explanation of the art form might be a useful addition to the artist statement. Whether an entry displays use of formal technique or a simple approach, it will be judged primarily on how well the student uses his or her artistic vision to portray the theme, originality and creativity. Copyright: Use of copyrighted material, including any copyrighted cartoon characters or likeness thereof, is not acceptable in any visual arts submission, with the following exceptions: • Visual artwork may include public places, well-known products, trademarks or certain other copyrighted material as long as that copyrighted material is incidental to the subject matter of the piece and/or is a smaller element of a whole. The resulting work cannot try to establish an association between the student and the trademark/business/material, or influence the purchase/non-purchase of the trademarked good. • Visual arts collages may include portions of existing copyrighted works, such as photographs, magazine clippings, internet images and type cut out of a newspaper, as long as those portions of copyrighted works are used to create a completely new and different work of art.
