Join my Italian Futurism seminar today: https://halkyonacademy.teachable.com/p/italian-futurism March 29&30 , 5-8pm UK time"We want to sing the love of danger! We want to glorify war - the only cure for the world!"Examine the most underrated but most far-reaching an avantgarde art movement of the 20th century — that made your world!Futurism revolutionised aesthetics and culture, exploring its radical approach to speed, technology, and modernity, and its enduring influence on contemporary art and design.The Italian Futurists envisioned a world of wireless telephones, hard drives that can hold hundreds of thousands of pages, and glorified speed. But most importantly: They wanted to end the stasis of the European spirit and finally give artistic form to modernity.This electrifying movement, born after the 19th century, which some hoped would never end, championed speed, technology, war, and youth. The Futurists wanted to burn down museums and libraries goodbye to the old and ushering in a new era of aesthetics. You'll get to explore the bold manifestos and avant-garde works by Marinetti on Futurism and the future of language. We will also read the Futurist Women's Manifesto.Moreover, we will discuss some of the most important artworks produced Futurist painters and sculptors, such as Balla's "Lampada ad arco", Julius Evola's involvement, its origins in Divisionism, its distaste for Impressionism and much more.Grasping the relevance of this historical, but forgotten vanguard movement will give you a new perspective on our world.
