Fortunato Depero quotes

If a painter once devoted himself to dynamism and now abandons it, denies it and even criticizes it, it is his own business. This does not mean, however that futurism has had his day. It is always worthy of interest and many artists still work in its ranks with unchanged passion. Dynamism is in life and in nature itself. (Fortunato Depero)
Futurism attracted me and made me better, gave me a new strength, showed me new fields and possibilities. View quote

The Futurists were the first painters, poets, and architects who exalted modern work with their art- they painted speeding automobiles- they painted lamps bursting with light- they painted steaming locomotives and swift bicyclists- the Futurists stylized their compositions, adopting a violently colored look; with synoptic and geometric shapes they multiplied and decomposed the rhythms of objects and landscapes in order to increase their dynamic qualities and to give an effective rendering of their swift ideas, the states of mind, their conceptions.
