Hotelrome.net Blog : A guide to news and events in Rome

Our Blogger: Diana 

The 100th anniversary of the Futurist Manifesto will be the starting point for an international art exhibition involving three of the major European museums: Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome, Musée National d’Art Moderne/Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and Tate Modern in London.

Rome is kicking off the exhibition on February 20th, which is the same day Le Figaro published the Manifesto in 1909, bringing together an extraordinary number of works in the early years. Visitors can yet catch the glimpse of originality in the style, which results in deep contrast with the works dating back the same period. The introduction of leitmotiv like the “speed” and “dynamism” will soon after change the vision of art at the international level giving the shape of our modern vision.

A fascinating picture is also shown depicting the ties Futurism had with Cubism, their mutual differences and shared traits; a liason which led to a cross over and the development of the Russian Cubo-Futurism and the British Vorticism.

Among the most valuable works we can admire are Le grand nu by Georges Braque; Picasso’s Femme assise dans un fauteuil; Umberto Boccioni’s Costruzione orizzontale, Le forze di una strada and Sviluppo di una bottiglia nella spazio; I funerali dell’anarchico Galli and Le nuotatrici by Carlo Carrà; Ricordi di una notte by Luigi Russolo, Nu descendant l’escalier by Marcel Duchamp.
