[Mieczyslaw Kasprzyk · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perhaps the best book on Italian Futurism. Futurism was a most important Art movement - most modern art owes a great (and often unrecognised) debt to it and its adoption of the Cubist language ensured the survival of that art movement.

Excellent introduction to Futurism. Beside the usual poetry and painting it also touches upon art forms that one does not immediately link with futurism, like architecture, theatre, cinema, photography and music – the latter my favourite part. Very acute analysis of the link between fascism and futurism at the end, also very interesting.
The book is really short so do not expect any section to go in depth, but if you are looking for an introduction to the broad activities of futurism I would highly recommend this one
