"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"--Publisher's website
