A Tumultuous Assembly: Visual Poems of the Italian Futurists

A Tumultuous Assembly: Visual Poems of the Italian Futurists at the Getty Center, Research Institute Exhibition Gallery. "...In 1909 a handful of Italian artists and poets published a manifesto for a new movement called Futurism. The artists declared that scientific and technological inventions of the modern world had altered concepts of time and space, causing a deep change in the human psyche. Traditional cultural institutions, they asserted, must be destroyed and new ones created. Futurists followed this with manifestos calling for the reinvention of everything from painting, music, and architecture to cooking, warfare, and government."
