Art Artistic Movements Futurism & the Manifesto Discussion

I’m working on a art question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

This discussion is about connecting avant-garde art in the early 20th century with manifestoes, which were important statements written by artists to declare the goals and outlooks of their artistic movements.

Also, this activity gives you a chance to practice some of the skills you will use on your Virtual Exhibition.

Read, Look, Think, Post

1. Read Marinetti’s Manifesto of Futurism from 1909. Use it to start your post by summing up the purpose and structure of Marinetti’s argument. Select one quote that for you best conveys the spirit of the manifesto. Post it and explain what it made you think about futurism.
2. Go online to a major museum — good choices are the Museum of Modern Art New York, the Tate Gallery London, the Getty Museum Los Angeles, the Pompidou in France — and find a futurist artwork that you find interesting and is not in the textbook. Post the image or link to the image and explain what you find significant about the image. Use a quote from Marinetti that applies to the artwork. Explain what elements in the art work embody the futurist ideals cherished by Marinetti.
