Manifestos, proclamations

  • F.T. Marinetti, "Manifeste du Futurisme", Figaro, 20 Feb 1909, p 1; repr. in Poesia (March? 1909); repr., Milan: Direction du Mouvement Futuriste, 1909 (but 1911/1912), 4 pp. [1] [2] [3]. First futurist manifesto. (French) Marinetti: "On 11 October 1908, after having worked for six years at my international review, Poesia, in order to liberate the Italian lyrical genius, which was threatened with extinction from traditional and commercial obstacles, I suddenly felt that all the poems, articles, and debates were no longer sufficient. A change of method was absolutely imperative: to get down into the streets, to attack the theaters, and to bring the fist into the midst of the artistic struggle." (from "First Futurist Battles", 1990). Marinetto began writing the programmatic portion, a list of eleven demands, sometime in late October or November 1908, completing it near Christmas. In January 1909 he published the programmatic section as an independent, two-page leaflet titled, “Manifesto of Futurism.” By mid-month he was sending it out to friends, intellectuals, writers who had contributed to Poesia, and editors of literary reviews and newspapers, both in Italy and France. In mid-February he traveled from Milan to Paris, where he took a room at the Grand Hôtel and wrote the narrative preamble that would accompany the manifesto. With help from an old crony of his father from the days in Alexandria, "the Pashah Mohammed el Rachi, an Egyptian ex-minister and seventy-year-old Epicurean who resided in Paris and owned a large number of shares in Le Figaro", Marinetti managed to get the manifesto onto the newspaper’s front page.
  • F.T. Marinetti, "Uccidiamo il chiaro di luna" [11 Apr 1909]. Portions were published in French as "Tuons le clair de lune!", in Poesia 5:7-8-9 (August-September-October 1909). (Italian) It was also published as an independent leaflet in French, where, in place of the title, it read: "The international journal Poesia publishes this proclamation of war in response to the insults with which aged Europe has gratified triumphant Futurism." The contemporary Italian leaflet presented its title for the first time, [4]. Marinetti's reply to criticisms leveled at "The Founding and Manifesto of Futurism".
  • Umberto Boccioni, Carlo D. Carrà, Luigi Russolo, Giacomo Balla, Gino Severini, "Manifesto dei pittori futuristi" [11 Feb 1910], HTML. Written in January by Carrà, Boccioni and Russolo, revised by Marinetti, all residing in Milan, and sent to Severini, then residing in Paris, and Balla, then in Rome, for their signatures to be added.
  • Umberto Boccioni, Carlo D. Carrà, Luigi Russolo, Giacomo Balla, Gino Severini, "Il manifesto tecnico dei pittori futuristi", Poesia, Milan, 11 Apr 1910, HTML. Drafted by Boccioni; an attempt to give a more substantial account of the painters' aims. First published as an independent leaflet in Italian, this manifesto gained notoriety because it was included in the catalogue to the first Exhibition of Futurist Paintings shown in Paris, London, Berlin, and Brussels, from 5 February to 5 June 1912. Also translated into French and German, it appeared in English as "The Manifesto of the Futurist Painters".
  • F.T. Marinetti, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Luigi Russolo, "Contro Venezia passatista" [27 Apr 1910], HTML. This document amalgamates two separate but related works. The first, comprising the first seven paragraphs, was a leaflet published in late April 1910; the Futurists scattered copies of it from the top of the bell tower in the piazza of San Marco in Venice on 8 July 1910. Translated into French with the title "Premier Manifeste futuriste aux Vénitiens", it was published in the Parisian newspaper Comoedia, 17 June 1910, and republished under that title in Le Futurisme [Futurism] (Paris: Sansot, 1911). The second work, comprising the last twenty-five paragraphs ("Venetians! ... that great Italian lake!"), is a lecture that Marinetti gave in Venice on 1 August 1910 at the Teatro della Fenice as part of the fourth Futurist serata. It was translated into French and published in an undated leaflet not much later, with a prefatory comment. A revised version of this note, in turn, became the passage that serves as a bridge between the first and second parts, in italics. The three were merged together as a new whole under the title "Against Passéist Venice", in 1914, when it appeared in an anthology which Marinetti edited, I manifesti del futurismo [The Manifestos of Futurism] (Florence: Edizioni di Lacerba, 1914). Later, when Marinetti prepared Guerra, sola igiene del mondo [War, the Only Hygiene of the World] (Milan: Edizioni futuriste di Poesia, 1915), he made further stylistic revisions.
    • An abridged version, in a poor English translation, appeared in a journal The Tramp 1:6 (August 1910) pp 487-488. It also printed the manifesto portion of "The Founding and Manifesto of Futurism", i.e., the eleven points called for at the end. These were the first publication of Futurist texts in English. The Tramp, otherwise devoted to hiking and travel, was edited by Douglas Goldring.
    • "Against Passéist Venice", in Futurism: An Anthology, 2009, pp 67-75. (English)
  • F.T. Marinetti, "Manifeste des auteurs dramatiques futuristes" [Jan 1911], Poesia, Milan, 22 Apr 1911. Manifesto on the theatre, an attack on the linear style of drama and the constraints of meaning. (French)
  • Balilla Pratella, "Manifeste des musiciens futuristes", Poesia, Milan, 11 May 1911; repr., Milan: Direction du Mouvement Futuriste, 29 Mar 1911 (but 1912), 4 pp. [7]. Pratella's important text, championing the work of the musical avant-garde. (French)
  • F.T. Marinetti, "Contro la spagna passatista" [1911], HTML.
  • Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Fotodinamismo futurista, Rome: Nalato, Dec 1911; 2nd ed., exp., 30 Jun 1913; 3rd ed., unaltered, 1913; new ed., ed. Antonella Vigliani Bragaglia, Torino: Einaudi, 1980. A treatise on photography that integrated influences from Filippo Tommaso Marinetti’s first Futurist manifesto of 1909, the chronophotographs of Étienne-Jules Marey, and cinema. [8] (Italian)
  • Umberto Boccioni, "Manifeste technique de la sculpture futuriste", Milan: Direction du Mouvement Futuriste, 11 Apr (but Sep) 1912; repr. L'Italia, 30 Sep 1912. [9]. Boccioni wrote this following his return from Paris, in response to his feeling that sculpture was not adapting to modernity in the same manner as painting. (French)
  • F.T. Marinetti, "Manifeste technique de la litterature futuriste", L'intransigeant, Paris, 7 Jul 1912; also in Figaro, Paris, 7 Jul 1912. This manifesto propounds Marinetti's ideas for 'free words', unrestrained by considerations of syntax and linked with mathematical symbols, thus enabling direct communication with the imagination. (French)
  • F.T. Marinetti, "Supplément au manifeste technique de la littérature futuriste", Milan: Direction du Mouvement Futuriste, 11 Aug 1912. A review and a selection of this manifest had been published in L'Intransigeant, Paris, 20 August 1912 and, the same day, in Paris-Journal. [11]. Attacked for the previous manifesto, this is Marinetti's riposte and includes his poem Bataille, poids + odeur, which is illustrative of his theories. (French)
  • Marinetti, "Tripoli Italiana (Secondo Manifesto Politico)", 11 October 1912, HTML.
  • Valentine de Saint-Point, "Manifeste Futuriste de la Luxure", Paris, 11 January 1913. Saint-Point's famous 'Manifesto of Lust': 'La Luxure est une force', the anti-feminist tone of which caused outrage when announced in a series of lectures.

  • F.T. Marinetti, "L'Imagination sans Fils et les Mots en Liberte, Manifeste Futuriste", Milan, 11 May 1913. An expansion on Marinetti's previous literary theories, this document prefigures the stream of consciousness of Surrealism.

Although he opposed Futurism at first, Apollinaire grew to appreciate it. In this work he attacks the old and praises the new (Picasso, Stravinsky, Duchamp etc.), including himself. The typography has to be ascribed to Apollinaire according to André Salmon, but to Marinetti according to Carrà.
    • "L'antitradizione futurista. Manifesto=sintesi". [14]
  • C.D. Carra, "La Peinture des Sons, Bruits et Odeurs, Manifeste Futuriste", Milan, 11 August 1913.

The second part, without the last sentence referring to Mallarmé, was published in the following issue (n. 7, 1 April 1914) of the same magazine, under the title "Onomatopee astratte e sensibilità numerica". The complete text was published as leaflet, in French and Italian, with the date of 11 March for the French version and of 18 March for the Italian one. [18] [19]. Marinetti attempts to create a new aesthetic of beauty founded on mechanical principles as opposed to the passé notions of beauty in vogue.
  • F.T. Marinetti, R.W. Nevinson, "Vital English Art, Futurist Manifesto", The Observer (7 June 1914).
