I saw a piece in a SF-based Italian art museum that was four panels, each with about 20 small cubbies. In each cubby was an individual abstract, brightly painted wood shape (carving?). If you squinted even a bit, it was indistinguishable from a list of modern corporate logos. Not the same as futurism, but I could see the artistic lineage.
- TchoBeer 5y agoBecomes especially funny when you consider the ideological origins of Italian Futurism. Hint: What was the dominant ideology in Italy in the 1930s and 40s.
- frostburg 5y agoIt's even more problematic. The relationship is more accurately understood in the opposite direction: fascism in some ways grew out of futurism (a lot of important exponents of futurism loved action and violence and speed enough to volunteer and get themselves killed in airplanes etc. in the first world war).
