www.tate.org.uk
It has been a century since Marinetti kick started the Futurist movement with the publication of the Futurist Manifesto. Expressing dynamism and rapid change, Futurism struck a cord with artists coming to terms with new elements of modern life.
'FUTURISM' is Tate Modern's summer 'block-buster' - and is the largest exhibition of Futurism seen in the United Kingdom since 1972. Coming from The Pompidou Centre in Paris, it brings together many of the works debuted at the Futurists' first, groundbreaking exhibition in Paris in 1912, displaying the same forces of visual dynamism, unprecedented energy and emotional power that so intoxicated and shocked the international art scene at the dawn of the 20th century.
...Another great exhibition from Tate Modern - well layed out, very thorough, educational and enjoyable.
