Question

Did you know? The Italian Futurists (1909-1944) glorified speed, machines and war — "a roaring racing car is more beautiful than the Nike of Samothrace". Their manifestos partly inspired Mussolini's fascism. Many artists died young in WW1, before their movement reached Italy.

Accepted Answer

The Italian Futurists (1909-1944) glorified speed, machines and war — "a roaring racing car is more beautiful than the Nike of Samothrace". Their manifestos partly inspired Mussolini's fascism. Many artists died young in WW1, before their movement reached Italy.

De Italiaanse Futuristen (1909-1944) verheerlijkten snelheid, machines en oorlog — "een snel sportautotje is mooier dan de Nikè van Samothrace". Hun manifesten lieten Mussolini's fascisme deels op deze esthetiek bouwen. Veel kunstenaars stierven jong in WO I, voor hun beweging Italië bereikte.
