  3. The Founding and Manifesto of Futurism,by F.T. Marinetti Le Figaro, February 20, 1909 (Paris)

  4. Translation… “We declare that the spendour of the world has been increased by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing car, its body ornamented by great pipes that resemble snakes with explosive breath…. A screaming automobile that seems to run on grapeshot, is more beautiful than the Winged Victory of Samothrace…Beauty now exists only in struggle. A work that is not aggressive in character cannot be a masterpiece… We want to glorify war – the world’s only hygiene – militarism, patriotism, the destructive act of the anarchists, the beautiful ideas for which one dies, and contempt for women. We want to destroy museums, libraries, and academies of all kinds, and to make war on moralism, feminism and on every opportunistic and utilitarian vileness.

  5. Continued… We shall sing the great crowds excited by work, pleasure or rioting, the multicoloured, many voiced tides of revolution in modern capitals. We shall sing the nocturnal, vibrating incandescence of arsenals and shipyards, ablaze with violent electric moons, the voracious stations devouring their smoking serpents… the broad breasted locomotives that paw the grounds of the rails like enormous horses of steel harnessed with tubes, and the smooth flight of the aeroplanes, their propellers flapping in the wind like flags and seeming to clap approval like an enthusiastic crowd. We launch from Italy into the world this our manifesto of overwhelming and incendiary violence, with which today we found Futurism, because we want to liberate this land from the fetid cancer of professors, archaeologists, guides and antiquarians.”

  6. ‘Technical Manifesto of Futurist Painting’ by Boccioni “Everything moves, everything runs, everything turns rapidly. A figure is never stationary before us but appears and disappears incessantly. Through the persistence of images on the retina, things in movement multiply and are distorted, succeeding each other like vibrations in the space through which they pass. Thus a galloping horse has not got four legs; it has twenty and their motion is triangular… At times, on the cheek of a person we are speaking to in the street, we see a horse passing in the distance. Out bodies enter into the sofas on which we sit, and the sofa enter into us, as also the tram that runs between the houses enters into them, and they hurl themselves on to it and fuse with it… We want to re-enter life. That the science of today should deny its past corresponds to the material needs of our time. In the same way art, denying its past, must correspond to the intellectual needs of our time.”

  10. A cry went up in the airy solitude of the high plains: ‘Let’s Murder the moonlight!’ Some ran to nearby cascades; gigantic wheels were raised, and turbines transformed the rushing waters into magnetic pulses that rushed up wires, up high poles, up to shining, humming globes. So it was that the three moons cancelled with their rays of blinding mineral whiteness the ancient green queen of loves.
