Futurist Manifesto


To me, it seems that Marinetti is obviously an anarchist against Academic art and social structure in general. It seems to me that artist, creators and many people in general are always striving for the something new and different in trying to move forward. I can see where he’s coming from when he compares museums to cemeteries. People do go to cemeteries to pay there respects and remember things from the past. However, he does have a negative tone and disrespect for those great artist that set the bar pretty high. I liked that he recognizes those behind him might do the same and find it interesting that he wants it to be so. We should question art and what art is and what art is not.
