Italian Futurism, 1909–1944: Reconstructing the Universe

Is this exhibit still up

Interesting but she talks too fast. Sounds like she just wants to get it over with and go for a latte.

This video h3lped me or gave me an idea for our project in arts

its nice because she knows how to say the names

Fascism at it's finest

“Googy-Hyme? I thought this was the aquarium.” - Jenny Slate

Italy is nothing but style.

Nice. My boy has to create an example of this for art class! Grazie

YOu skipped the Mussolini murals at the end of the exhibition. I LOVE this movement aesthetically, simply from the perspective of bourgeois standards of beauty. Boccioni's work in particular. I detest it's long association and ultimate co-optation by Italian fascism. But if you're going to study the movement, those images of Il Duce have to be included, even in this video, or at least one of them. I know it's offensive to many, as it should be. But you can't censor or omit those realities if you're going to be true to history. We should see the images and dissect them for what they were, pure racist, imperialist propaganda.

she is talking way too fast

God i hate futurism

Futurism was not only an artistic but social movement that has its origin in Italy and expressed admiration for speed, technology, youth, and violence. It was related to Italian Fascism at the beginning but always has some kind of relationship. One of the key figures was Tomasso Marinetti. Senior curator Vivien Greene did an excellent description of the masterpieces of this movement.

What about the fascism

I never fully understood Futurism until this video. Also didn't realize the movement included many other venues & media besides painting, such as theater, sculpture, photography, literature, etc. The names of its artists are unfamiliar to me but I certainly like many of the paintings captured in this video. I can explore further from this point on.

So, it should really be called Italian Futurism of Marinetti (the main figure/driver of the movement).

Wow, she has a perfect english and italian accent

Please, release the automatic translation on video.

god I wish I could have seen this in person

Means nothing without the fascist iconography. Like eating chicken with no bones; what do you have to grab onto? Shredding the chicken can work, but you are no longer just eating chicken by itself.

Heil the national- futurism
The Austrian painter was right

Heil gastev

Wonderful!

Lovely presentation but shame on whatever entity decided on NO CAPTIONS as the women describes Futurism speaking at break neck speed. The disabled are NOT GOING to accept being ignored no matter how Cruel life is under the current Fascist regime in America today.

At .8 speed this is actually listenable!
