... The core themes of Futurist thought and art were machines and motion
VENICE - Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, poet, publicist, rabble-rouser and founder of Futurism, glorified speed, machines, mass culture, modern warfare and Benito Mussolini, to whom Marinetti remained faithful until the dictators death in December 1944. ...
Marinetti and his followers prided themselves on concocting a Futurist version of everything from architecture, musical movement and flower arranging to clothing, sex and gastronomy. ...
Marinetti
(1876-1944)
The poet and guiding light of Futurism carried out some of the most important musical experiments of the early 20th Century through his "mots en liberté" and his "Sintesi per il Teatro Tadiofonico. ...
Here Marinetti is accompanied on piano by Aldo Giuntini, another musician who shared the ideals of Futurism and about who practically nothing is known except that he composed a number of songs in a Canzoniere Amoroso e Guerriero. ...
In Definizione de Futurismo (1924), Marinetti marks the boundary and death of an artistic ideal that was already being swept away in the tide of well known historical events.
