On the centennial publication of the Manifesto of Futurism "in the Pompidou Center opened an exhibition devoted to this movement.

"Futurism - a real revolution, this movement is all the more surprising that it lasted a very short time - from 1908 to 1914." - Explains Ottenzhe Didier, the curator of this remarkable exhibition. "From Moscow to Milan, from Paris to New York, artists and musicians, poets and architects have united together to overthrow the old values and adopt new ideas."

The exhibition features 200 works by the primary. Registration of her stern, so as not to overshadow the brilliant palette of artists of this movement - but modern - to comply with the spirit of the artistic avant-garde. Right at the entrance, the hall dedicated to the Italian representatives of the militant movement, on a red background hung paintings by Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carra and Gino Severini, in the ambition which was to push Cubism, which they accused of conservatism, which they tried to make the exhibition Futurism Gallery Bernheim Younger, organized in Paris in 1912, all these masterpieces, given the Museum of Contemporary Art, New York - they left the walls of the museum for the first time! - Completely overshadow the work of French Cubist painters (Robert Delaunay, Pablo Picasso, Plber Glez and Georges Braque), exhibited in the adjoining room.

We are at the origins of Futurism - violent reaction of protest against the laboratory of cubism, which explored the pure form of excessive formalism, and it was payback for the reduction of the Cubist palette of gray-brown to a minimum. At that time, as in Cubism "Avignon girls" glorifies nude, Manifesto of Futurism is peremptory: "We demand a complete ban on nude in painting for ten years."

Analytism replaced by the desire to transfer dynamics. The theoretical foundations of futurism. was formulated in 1910, Boccioni Theorist movement rejected academic art museum ( "Out of the museums, go to the city!") and called for the painting, participating in "life, bubbling steel, pride and speed." Futurists are oriented to the "animating the flow of science, they argue that" the movement and light destroy the materiality of the body. "

The movement, full of optimism

Paris Salon of Independent in 1914 was marked by a dialogue between Cubism and Futurism. "The concepts of Cubism and Futurism were diametrically opposed. However, in practice, these movements have found common ground in the painting, which denies the paradox, and that's the strength and singularity of this movement "- continues Didier Ottenzhe. Bypassing hall for the hall, the visitor sees the proximity to the subjects, in the interpretation of shape, color palette, the artists who worked in different parts of Europe - from the Russian kubofuturizma David Burliuk and his friends protivovostavlyavshih Italian Futurism, with its cult of modernism, his passion for primitivism, to the French representatives, members of a group called "Orphism," from "Vorticism, based in England Uindremom Percy Lewis, before the US-futurism, which has absorbed all forms of avant-garde, including" naked, down the stairs »№ 2 Marcel Duchamp, the audacity of a clot.
Configured optimistic, Futurism invented a new relationship of man to the modern world. But the unshakable belief in the future had fallen victim to the First World War, which ended internationalism. Machine have turned against man. The exhibition ends in 1914, without affecting the perspective of the second Futurism 1920-1930., Artists who were associated with ideas fvshizma.
