This book traces the development of Futuristic typography, placing it within the context of artistic and literary movements: Futurist poets, Dadaists, and the Russian Futurists with their irregular handwritten lettering and vigourous drawings. With new translations of the texts illustrated, this volume examines a range of Futurist publications and other designs for print, many of them not widely known. By attempting to convey the meaning of these sometimes almost untranslatable works, a new understanding of this lextraordinary language, and of Futurist typography, emerges. The first quarter of the twentieth century was clamorous with the cries of rebellious groups. Numerous manifestoes called for new forms, a new language, a new society. None was wider in its scope, or more poetic, than Marinetti's Futurist Manifesto of 1909. Painting, literature, architecture, theatre, cinema, music; all were caught up in its net. What is refreshing is that typography, up till then the forgotten relation, played a serious part in that programme, too. While very innovative, the work of the Futurist poets retained meaning, whereas the Dadaists deliberately employed illogic in an attempt to awaken the mind to evocative ideas. The very different methods of the Russian Futurists - irregular handwritten lettering and vigorous drawings - produced a different kind of excitement. But all three movements, the creation of poets and artists crossing boundaries, were concerned with intensifying literary expression by visually expressive presentation. This new book, by a leading writer on graphic design and typography, traces the development of Futuristic typography, and describes examples of around eighty Futurist books or other designs for print, including translations, so that a new understanding of this extraordinary language, and of Futurist typography, emerges.

Featuring over twenty essays by an international team of experts, this expansive book covers a range of topics and mediums including painting, sculpture, architecture, interior and stage designs, graphic work, fashion, theatre and cinema, as well as a diverse variety of functional objects from furniture and carpets to ceramics and toys. Spanning various avant-gardes from 1912 to 1939, artists featured include Italian futurists such as Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni and Fortunato Depero, alongside other European artists including Sonia Delaunay, Le Corbusier, Fernand Léger, Walter Gropius, Alexander Rodchenko, Fritz Lang, László Moholy-Nagy, Wassily Kandinsky, Hans Arp, Duncan Grant, Natalia Goncharova and Vladimir Tatlin. Broad in scope, this pioneering book examines the intersections between Futurism and other European avant-garde movements in their shared quest for a new aesthetic, triggering a lively exchange of new ideas, friction and rivalry."

Futurist Painting Sculpture (Plastic Dynamism), a truly radical book by Umberto Boccioni (1882-1916), claimed a central position in artistic debates of the 1910s and 1920s, exerting a powerful influence on the Italian Futurist movement as well as on the entire European historical avant-garde, including Dada and Constructivism. Today, Boccioni is best known as an artist whose paintings and sculptures are prized for their revolutionary aesthetic by American and European museums. But Futurist Painting Sculpture demonstrates that he was also the foremost avant-garde theorist of his time. In his distinctive, exhilarating prose style, Boccioni not only articulates his own ideas about the Italian movement's underpinnings and goals but also systematizes the principles expressed in the vast array of manifestos that the Futurists had already produced. Featuring photographs of fifty-one key works and a large selection of manifestos devoted to the visual arts, Boccioni's book established the canon of Italian Futurist art for many years to come. First published in Italian in 1914, Futurist Painting Sculpture has never been available in English - until now. This edition includes a critical introduction by Maria Elena Versari. Drawing on the extensive Futurist archives at the Getty Research Institute, Versari systematically retraces, for the first time, the evolution of Boccioni's ideas and arguments; his attitude toward contemporary political, racial, philosophical, and scientific debates; and his polemical view of Futurism's role in the development of modern art
