A Domodossola Con Settanta Opere Di Balla, Boccioni E Depero A Domodossola con settanta opere di Balla, Boccioni e Depero IL SOGNO DELLA MODERNITA’ CHE RIVIVE NELLA GRANDE MOSTRA SUL FUTURISMO Velocità, progresso, innovazione sono il fulcro del linguaggio rivoluzionario del Futurismo che un secolo fa si presentò come ‘nuova cultura figurativa europea’ e che oggi rivive nella grande rassegna al Palazzo San Francesco di Domodossola dove, ad appena due settimane dall’inaugurazione, sta riscuotendo un crescente numero di visitatori accorsi ad ammirare, sotto l’egida “ Costruire lo Spazio del Futuro”, decine di opere che protagonisti di quel movimento come Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni e Fortunato Depero dipinsero nel segno della modernità. La mostra, curata da Antonio D’Amico, con il patrocinio della Regione Piemonte e del Ministero dei Beni culturali e la collaborazione della Fondazione Ruminelli, della Banca d’Italia e del Mart, Museo Italiano del Novecento, rievoca gli anni d’oro agli inizi del secolo scorso a Domodossola che, in pieno sviluppo data la sua posizione strategica per la vicinanza al valico del Sempione, esaltava con l’avvento del Futurismo il valore dello spazio, del movimento e della velocità della macchina, automobile o aeroplano che fosse. E qui si può, infatti, ammirare sia la prima automobile immatricolata nel 1896 a Novara, sia l’omaggio al mitico aviatore peruviano Geo Chavez – che nel 1910 compì la mirabolante impresa della prima transvolata delle Alpi sorvolando i cieli del Sempione - il cui aeroplano è diventato una installazione appesa al soffitto nei saloni della mostra. Dal canto loro le opere dei tre grandi maestri Balla, Boccioni e Depero propongono una visione coinvolgente che va dalla stagione divisionista e pre- futurista all’aeropittura per proseguire poi con Dudreville, Dottori o Rizzo del quale si potrà ammirare la bellezza del singolare dipinto “Treno notturno a gran velocità” del 1926. La rappresentazione del movimento e della velocità, già resa nel 1913 da Giacomo Balla nella scultura dell’uomo che cammina lasciando “Forme uniche nella continuità dello spazio”, viene qui esposta con l’opera “Colpo di fucile domenicale” dello stesso Balla giunta a Domodossola dalla ACADEMY INTERNACIONAL IBER COUNINT SL Institución de Formación Universitaria La Rambla, 84 Pr. 2 - 08002 Barcelona España Email: [email protected] Web: www. academyinternacional.eu NUMERO VERDE 800 176 808 NIF/VAT ES-B67132308 collezione della Banca d’Italia alla quale si affiancano opere di Gerardo Dottori, Duilio Cambelotti, Tato, Tullio Crali e Sante Monachesi. Il Futurismo fu il primo movimento d’avanguardia storica guidato da una visione globale che abbracciò campi diversi dell’esperienza culturale europea, dalla letteratura – basterebbe ricordare l’invito “Uccidiamo il Chiaro di Luna” rivolto ai suoi ‘poeti incendiari’ dal Marinetti inventore delle ‘parole in libertà’ e fautore del verso libero – alle arti figurative e alla musica, dal costume alla politica. Rivisitare le opere d’arte dei maestri futuristi, come accade al visitatore di questa rassegna, consente di scoprire, con la loro avversione ad ogni forma tradizionale di linguaggio, la portata rivoluzionaria di questo movimento in nome della modernità. di Veronica Ferretti ACADEMY INTERNACIONAL IBER COUNINT SL Institución de Formación Universitaria La Rambla, 84 Pr. 2 - 08002 Barcelona España Email: [email protected] Web: www. academyinternacional.eu NUMERO VERDE 800 176 808 NIF/VAT ES-B67132308 .

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.

  • 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.

    Federico Luisetti, “A Futurist Art of the Past”, AmeriQuests 12.1 (2015) A Futurist Art of the Past: Anton Giulio Bragaglia’s Photodynamism Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Un gesto del capo1 Un gesto del capo (A gesture of the head) is a rare 1911 “Photodynamic” picture by Anton Giulio Bragaglia (1890-1960), the Rome-based photographer, director of experimental films, gallerist, theater director, and essayist who played a key role in the development of the Italian Avant- gardes. Initially postcard photographs mailed out to friends, Futurist Photodynamics consist of twenty or so medium size pictures of small gestures (greeting, nodding, bowing), acts of leisure, work, or movements (typing, smoking, a slap in the face), a small corpus that preceded and influenced the experimentations of European Avant-garde photography, such as Christian Schad’s Schadographs, Man Ray’s Rayographs, and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy’s Photograms. Thanks to historians of photography, in particular Giovanni Lista and Marta Braun, we are familiar with the circumstances that led to the birth of Photodynamism, which took on and transformed the principles proclaimed in the April 11, 1910 Manifesto tecnico della pittura futurista (Technical Manifesto of Futurist Painting) by Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Luigi Russolo, Giacomo Balla, and Gino Severini, where the primacy of movement and the nature of “dynamic sensation” challenge the conventions of traditional visual arts: “The gesture which we would reproduce on canvas shall no longer be a fixed moment in universal dynamism. It shall simply be 1 (A Gesture of the Head), 1911. Gelatin silver print, 17.8 x 12.7 cm, Gilman Collection, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York].

  • Fillia's Verbal and Visual Self-Portraiture: Narrating a Futurist
    Fillia’s Verbal and Visual Self-Portraiture: Narrating a Futurist Awakening1 Adriana Baranello University of California, Los Angeles Beginning in 1909, with the “Fondazione e Manifesto del Futurismo,” and lasting until 1944, Futurism championed the awakening of a new, modern consciousness bound to the infinite possibilities of technology and its manifestations in the automobile, the airplane and other mechanical marvels. Early Futurist art was primarily concerned with the depiction of physical sensations of speed, movement and “mechanical splendor” and, in literature, the “destruction of the self” as Marinetti declares in the 1912 “Manifesto tecnico della letteratura futurista.” The focus was on demolishing everything that came before, which Futurism viewed as passé sentimentality and bourgeois banality. Futurism sought to replace sentimentality and historicity with ruthless progress and an unrelenting drive toward an impersonal, machine-driven modernity using new and shocking forms of (both metaphorical and actual) violence and desecration. The emphasis was on a very visceral, tumultuous kind of collective provocation, exemplified by the 1909 “Fondazione e Manifesto del Futurismo” and the early serate futuriste. Fillia (Luigi Colombo, 1904-1936), however, was part of the second generation of Futurist poets, artists, and rabble-rousers who took up F. T. Marinetti’s flag and carried the Futurist agenda forward in the aftermath of World War I. Fillia was the author of poetry, novels and plays, a self-taught painter, journalist, political activist, and editor who devoted his life to the pursuit of his art and the advancement of the Futurist cause. He published volumes on modern architecture, cooking, and design, collaborating extensively with Marinetti as well as with a number of the most important European intellectuals of his time.

Featuring over 120 paintings spanning three major artistic movements, the exhibition illustrates the diversity and singularity of abstract art in Italy, seeking to afford more focused attention to a group of artists who revolutionized the historical sweep of painting in the context of interwar and postwar Europe and the United States. This exhibition concerns three periods from the early 1910s through the late 1950s, beginning with Giacomo Balla and Enrico Prampolini’s embrace of the Futurist manifesto and charting the development of Italian abstract painting under the growing political pressures of Fascism. The works on view are united in their vigorous challenge of the traditions of their time, each propelled by spirited experimentation and fervent revolutionary impulse. Often transcending the typical Futurist subject matter of racing car and mechanical city-scape, these works mark a distinct movement away from figuration as the primary vessel for an expression of feeling, instead investigating the emotional value of line, shape and color.
