My dissertation uses a variety of critical methods (socio-political, historical, philological, narratological and feminist), along with the stylistic analysis and close reading of individual works, to study and assess the importance of Fillia’s literature, theater, art, political activism, and beyond. Far from being derivative and reactionary in form and content, as interwar futurism has often been characterized, Fillia’s works deploy subtler, but no less innovative forms of experimentation. For most of his brief but highly productive life, Fillia lived and worked in Turin, where in the early 1920s he came into contact with Antonio Gramsci and his factory councils.

  • Il Selvaggio 1926–1942: Architectural Polemics and Invective Imagery
    $UFKLWHFWXUDO Rosso, M 2016 Il Selvaggio 1926–1942: Architectural Polemics and Invective Imagery. +LVWRULHV Architectural Histories, 4(1): 4, pp. 1–42, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/ah.203 RESEARCH ARTICLE Il Selvaggio 1926–1942: Architectural Polemics and Invective Imagery Michela Rosso* Within the framework of a special collection dedicated to the study of image-word relations in the press and their impact upon the dissemination of architecture within the public realm, the story of Il Selvaggio, the magazine published from July 13, 1924, until five weeks before the fall of Mussolini in 1943, assumes a significant relevance. Since its inception, and increasingly from 1926, Il Selvaggio hosts, alongside articles and polemic essays, a varied range of graphic materials in different genres and forms of artistic expression. This heterogeneous visual catalogue, an expression of the versatile and eclectic culture of its founder, the artist, writer and illustrator Mino Maccari, includes an equally varied ensemble of literary registers ranging from rhymes and aphorisms to brief polemic writings, ironic manipulation of proverbs, word plays and puns. The interest of a study about the representations of architecture within Il Selvaggio lies in the non- specialist nature of a periodical whose cultural stances were predominantly elaborated outside the profes- sional circles of the architectural work and its well-known authors. This article examines the rhetorical strategies and linguistic devices of the magazine, where caricatures and landscape scenes, still lives and urban views, photographs and mottoes, are intertwined in a set of varying relationships. It also elucidates the historical context in which the contemporary architectural debate unfolds and which constitutes the constant reference for Maccari and his collaborators, providing the source materials for the journal’s polemics.

Language: Collection material is in English Biographical/Historical Note Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, born in Alexandria in 1876, attended secondary school and university in France, where he began his literary career. After gaining some success as a poet, he founded and edited the journal Poesia (1905), a forum in which the theories of futurism rather quickly evolved. With "Fondazione e Manifesto del Futurismo," published in Le Figaro (1909), Marinetti launched what was arguably the first 20th century avant-garde movement, anticipating many of the issues of Dada and Surrealism. Like other avant-garde movements, futurism took the momentous developments in science and industry as signaling a new historical era, demanding correspondingly innovative art forms and language.

  • Painting in Italy 1910S-1950S: Futurism, Abstraction, Concrete Art 25 May – 15 July 2016 Monday to Friday – 10Am to 6Pm 38 Dover Street, W1S 4NL, London
    Painting in Italy 1910s-1950s: Futurism, Abstraction, Concrete Art 25 May – 15 July 2016 Monday to Friday – 10am to 6pm 38 Dover Street, W1S 4NL, London Robilant+Voena are pleased to present Painting in Italy 1910s-1950s: Futurism, Abstraction, Concrete Art, a group show curated by Gian Enzo Sperone, which follows on from the successful exhibition held at Sperone Westwater gallery in 2015. The exhibition, which is on view from 25 May - 15 July 2016, at Robilant+Voena’s London gallery, will bring together 86 works realised by 26 influential Italian painters, born between the end of the 19th century and the 1920s and who were active before, during and after the Second World War. Encompassing three major artistic movements and spanning five decades, the show will illustrate the great diversity and originality of abstract Italian art. This survey show will begin with Futurist abstraction, bringing together early works by Giacomo Balla, and the unique organic abstraction of Enrico Prampolini. The 1930s gave rise to the group of Milanese abstractionists including Atanasio Soldati, Mario Radice, Mauro Reggiani, Manlio Rho and Luigi Veronese. These artists exhibited in the influential Galleria del Milione, which soon became the catalyst for artists, architects, designers and poets and which was later to be pivotal in the careers of the Zero group. The final era the exhibition will focus on is from the immediate post-war years up the mid-1950s, when abstraction and concrete art manifested a cultural renewal and engagement, becoming antagonistic to ideologies which favoured realism. As the dust settled, a number of artists faced with this historical juncture, identified abstract art as the only language capable of eradicating the past, and at the same time generating a new era of universal values.
