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.

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.

  • 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).

  • Depero and Photo-Performance
    Este documento es un borrador de la versión publicada en: Fernández Castrillo, C. (2014). Depero and Photo-performance. En: Futurist Depero. 1913-1950. Manuel Fontán del Junco (ed.). Madrid: Fundación Juan March, 2014, pp. 287-291. © De los textos los autores DEPERO and Photo-performance. Carolina Fernández Castrillo The dichotomy between art and technology (episteme/techne or artes liberales/artes mechanicae) has determined the evolution of aesthetics and society, giving rise to numerous expressions of approbationand rejection over the course of history. In 1909 the Futurists emerged on the Europeanart scene to the cry of “The whip or dynamite!”1 proclaiming that it was no longer possible to escapefrom scientific discoveries and the influence of the new means of transport, production, and communication that were transforming the world into an ever faster and better connected place. There was an urgent need to establish a new aesthetic-communicative system capable of capturing the unprecedentedly vibrant and frenetic rhythm of society. The early Italian avant- garde artists thus distanced themselves from late 19th-century cultural trends by proposing a specific plan of action that could stir up the conscience of their contemporaries against passéism (passatismo, nostalgia for the past) and passivity. In his desire to provoke reaction, the Futurists’ leader Filippo Tommaso Marinetti decided to publish his inaugural manifesto in the French Le Figaro, the most popular newspaper of the day. Through this initial public act, Marinetti aimed to disseminate his thinking on a global scale beyond the frontiers of Italy, choosing the quintessentially modern city of Paris from which to do so.

(3 5/8 x 4 1/8 in.) [image, at greatest dimensions]. 241 x 175 mm. (9 1/2 x 67/8 in.) [backing card] In September 1929 the Futurist theorist and founder Filippo Tomasso Marinetti published an article entitled ‘Perspectives of Flight and Aeropainting’ in the Gazzetta del Popolo in Turin, signed by Giacomo Balla, Fortunato Depero, Enrico Prampolini and several other Futurist painters. Republished in a revised and more complete version in 1931, the text served as a manifesto of the nascent branch of Futurism known as aeropittura, or Futurist aeropainting: ‘We Futurists declare that: 1. The changing perspectives of flight are an absolutely new reality that has nothing to do with the traditional reality of terrestrial perspectives. 2. The elements of this new reality have no fixed point and are built out of the same perennial mobility. 3. The painter cannot observe and paint unless he experiences the same speed as these elements. 4. Painting this new reality from the air imposes a profound contempt for detail and a need to summarize and transfigure everything…7.

  • Futurism's Photography
    Futurism’s Photography: From fotodinamismo to fotomontaggio Sarah Carey University of California, Los Angeles The critical discourse on photography and Italian Futurism has proven to be very limited in its scope. Giovanni Lista, one of the few critics to adequately analyze the topic, has produced several works of note: Futurismo e fotografia (1979), I futuristi e la fotografia (1985), Cinema e foto- grafia futurista (2001), Futurism & Photography (2001), and most recently Il futurismo nella fotografia (2009).1 What is striking about these titles, however, is that only one actually refers to “Futurist photography” — or “fotografia futurista.” In fact, given the other (though few) scholarly studies of Futurism and photography, there seems to have been some hesitancy to qualify it as such (with some exceptions).2 So, why has there been this sense of distacco? And why only now might we only really be able to conceive of it as its own genre? This unusual trend in scholarly discourse, it seems, mimics closely Futurism’s own rocky relationship with photography, which ranged from an initial outright distrust to a later, rather cautious acceptance that only came about on account of one critical stipulation: that Futurist photography was neither an art nor a formal and autonomous aesthetic category — it was, instead, an ideological weapon. The Futurists were only able to utilize photography towards this end, and only with the further qualification that only certain photographic forms would be acceptable for this purpose: the portrait and photo-montage. It is, in fact, the very legacy of Futurism’s appropriation of these sub-genres that allows us to begin to think critically about Futurist photography per se.

  • Caffeina E Vodka Italia E Russia: Futurismi a Confronto Claudia Salaris
    Caffeina e vodka Italia e Russia: futurismi a confronto Claudia Salaris Il viaggio di Marinetti in Russia Negli anni eroici del futurismo il fondatore Filippo Tommaso Marinetti era noto con il soprannome di “Caffeina d’Europa” per l’energia con cui diffondeva la religione del futuro da un paese all’altro. Uno dei suoi viaggi memorabili è quello in Russia all’inizio del 1914 1. Invitato a tenere un ciclo di conferenze a Mosca e a Pietroburgo, Il poeta ha accettato con entusiasmo, pensando a un patto d’unità d’azione con i fratelli orientali. Infatti nella terra degli zar il futurismo è nato con caratteristiche proprie,ma è sempre un parente stretto del movimento marinettiano. Nelle realizzazioni dell’avanguardia russa non sono pochi gli echi delle teorie e invenzioni del futurismo marinettiano. Ma, al contrario degli italiani che formano una specie di partito d’artisti omogeneo, i russi sono sparsi in diversi gruppi. Nel 1910 è uscita a Pietroburgo l’antologia Il vivaio dei giudici , a cui hanno collaborato, tra gli altri, i fratelli David e Nikolaj Burljuk, Elena Guro, Vasilij Kamenskij, Viktor Chlebnikov. A costoro presto si sono uniti Vladimir Majakovskij, Benedikt Livshich, Alexandr Kruchënych e alla fine del 1912 il gruppo, che intanto ha assunto il nome di Gileja, pubblica il volume Schiaffo al gusto corrente , che nel titolo rivela la matrice marinettiana, ricalcando il “disprezzo del pubblico” promulgato dal poeta italiano. Il libro collettivo contiene un editoriale-manifesto in cui i gilejani, rifiutando il passato e le accademie, esortano i giovani a “gettare Pushkin, Dostoevskij, Tolstoj, ecc.

  • Rayonists and Futurists: a Manifesto, 1913
    MIKHAIL LARIONOV AND NATALYA GONCHAROVA Rayonists and Futurists: A Manifesto, 1913 For biographies see pp. 79 and 54. The text of this piece, "Luchisty i budushchniki. Manifest," appeared in the miscel- lany Oslinyi kkvost i mishen [Donkey's Tail and Target] (Moscow, July iQn), pp. 9-48 [bibl. R319; it is reprinted in bibl. R14, pp. 175-78. It has been translated into French in bibl. 132, pp. 29-32, and in part, into English in bibl. 45, pp. 124-26]. The declarations are similar to those advanced in the catalogue of the '^Target'.' exhibition held in Moscow in March IQIT fbibl.

  • Music, Noise, and Abstraction
    BYVASIL y KAND INSKY' s OWN AC co u NT, his proto-abstract canvas ImpressionIII (Konzert) (19n; plate 13) was directly inspired by a performance of Arnold Schoenberg's first atonal works (the Second String Quartet, op. ro, and the Three Piano Pieces, op. n) at a concert in Munich on January 2, r9n, attended by Kandinsky and his Blaue Reiter compatriots (plate 6). The correspondence that Kandinsky launched with Schoenberg in the days following the concert makes it clear that both the painter and the composer saw direct parallels between the abandonment of tonality in music and the liberation from representation in visual art. 1 That both construed these artistic breakthroughs in spiritual terms is equally clear. Responding to the crisis of value prompted by scientific mate­ rialism, Kandinsky and Schoenberg affirmed an inner, spiritual realm that promised "ascent to a higher and better order," as Schoenberg would later put it. 2 Kandinsky looked to music, "the least material of the arts," as a means to "turn away from the soulless content of modern life, toward materials and environments that give a free hand to the nonmaterial strivings and searchings of the thirsty soul." "Schoenberg's music," he insisted, "leads us into a new realm, where musical experiences are no longer acoustic, but purely spiritua/."3 But what constitutes the "abstraction" of music in general and of atonal music in particular? And might this well-worn story obscure alternative conceptions of "abstraction" and other relationships between music and art in European modernism? Contrary to the self-presentations of Schoenberg and Kandinsky, there is nothing fundamental about the analogy between abstraction and atonality ­ which is why Paul Klee, Frantisek Kupka, Marsden Hartley, and many other early abstract painters could find inspiration in the eighteenth-century polyphony that consolidated the tonal system in the first place.
