The book presents the full sweep of Futurism's ambitions: its glorification of speed, technology, violence, and the machine age, tracing the movement from its explosive 1909 manifesto by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti through its far-reaching influence on painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and literature across Europe.\n\nTisdall and Bozzolla write with scholarly authority and critical precision, situating Futurism within the broader currents of early modernism and illuminating its complex, often troubling, entanglements with Italian nationalism and fascism. Their analysis uncovers the contradictions at the heart of the movement — its simultaneous embrace of liberation and destruction, beauty and brutality — making this volume an essential text for anyone seeking to understand not just an art movement, but the restless, dangerous spirit of an era. Will Futurism's utopian dreams of a world remade by speed and fire ever cease to resonate in our own age of relentless technological change?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216195559643,"sku":"2026200014504-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/dfa90a37-4f8e-486a-8eef-0a311ebd17b1.png?v=1788405061","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014504-secondhand-futurism","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
