Futurism was a typically Italian modern art movement - it is here explained in selected short text-quotes of Dutch art-critic Jacob Bendien.
His quotes describe in short the meaning, goals, characteristics and art history of Italian Futurism, and of the Futurist artists who loved to express the growing dynamics of modern life in the big city.

Marinetti was the founder of Italian Futurism; later some painter-artists followed him like the Italian artists Boccioni, Severini, Balla, Russolo and Carra; they produced their painter Manifestos on visual Futurist art.

The text-quotes on Italian Futurism are taken from the Dutch art-critic Jacob Bendien. Included are moreover PDF’s with artist-quotes & art-images of the Futurist artists. They wrote and talked a lot about Futurist painting art, sculpture and music, in discussions with French Cubist artists.

Some selected quotes of Jacob Bendien on Italian Futurism - as a short introduction of his extended quotes in the PDF:

• ’The Futurist is searching for a total of dynamic sensations as they are felt by him, through the rhythm of the various fragmented impressions and their movements, or rather their inner strength.'

• ’Futurism approaches reality with active analysis, dividing it into as many different factors as possible… …A galloping horse does not have four legs but twenty he cries enthusiastically.'

• The voracious, primitive Futurist has instant contact with reality, even if it is somewhat rough and ready, rather like a farmer with his land.'
