"This book introduces a compelling new personality to the modernist canon, Marisa Mori (1900-1985), who became the only female contributor to The Futurist Cookbook (1932) with her recipe for "Italian Breasts in the Sun." Providing something more complex than a traditional biographical account, Griffiths presents a feminist critique of Mori's art, converging on issues of gender, culture, and history to offer new critical perspectives on Italian modernism. If subsequently written out of modernist memory, Mori was once at the center of the Futurism movement in Italy; yet she worked outside the major European capitals and fluctuated between traditional figurative subjects and abstract experimentation. As a result, her in-between pictures can help to re-think the margins of modernism. By situating Mori's most significant artworks in the critical context of interwar Fascism, and highlighting her artistic contributions before, during, and after her Futurist decade, Griffiths contributes to a growing body of knowledge on the women who participated in the Italian Futurist movement. In doing so, she explores a woman artist's struggle for modernity among the Italian Futurists in an age of Fascism."--Provided by publisher.

"Curating fascism" examines how art exhibitions have retrospectively shaped collective memory, historical narratives, and political discourse about the fascist regime in Italy. The volume explores how curatorial methods can rethink the typically excluded or marginalized issues of gender, race, and sexual orientation, considering thoughtful ways to include the often-tragic plight of Jews, women, LGBTQs, and victims of colonialism under fascism, as well as antifascist voices of restistance. By interweaving historical perspectives, critical theory, and direct accounts of exhibitions from the people who xconceived them or responded to them, the book presents an innovative transdisciplinary approach to the field of exhibition history. A century on from its ascent to power, "Curating fascism" unpicks the legacy of the Mussolini regime by offering fresh new perspectives on the historiography, collective memory, and understanding of fascist art and culture from a contemporary standpoint.

Bringing together studies by art historians, historians, and political scientists, Fascist Visions explores the themes and paradigms that pervaded protofascist and fascist aesthetic discourse, cultural policy, and artistic production in France and Italy. Whether traditionalist or innovative in idiom, art functioned as the expression of fascism’s ideological polarities: nihilism and idealism, modernism and antimodernism, revolution and reaction. This volume charts the unfolding of fascist aesthetics from its genesis in nationalist and antimaterialist ideologies before World War I to its full development during the interwar period and World War II. It also highlights the shared motivations of advocates of fascist aesthetics, including artists, art critics, political activists, and government officials, outside of Germany.


The eight essays in this book investigate the intersection of fascist ideology and aesthetics through a wide range of historical examples. Topics include: theories of cultural regeneration in Italy from the Risorgimento to fascism; the impact of fascism upon the work of such artists and art critics as Ardengo Soffici, Mario Sironi, Valentine de Saint-Point, and Waldemar George; the theories of modernist urbanism developed by Georges Valois’s Faisceau; and official sponsorship of painting and the decorative arts in Mussolini’s Italy and in Vichy France. The contributors to this volume include Walter Adamson, Matthew Affron, Mark Antliff, Emily Braun, Michèle Cone, Emilio Gentile, Nancy Locke, and Marla Stone.
