The special issue of International Yearbook of Futurism Studies for
2015 will investigate the role of Futurism in the œuvre of a number
of Women artists and writers. These include a number of women actively
supporting Futurism (e.g. Růžena Zátková, Edyth von Haynau, Olga
Rozanova, Eva Kühn), others periodically involved with the movement
(e.g. Valentine de Saint Point, Aleksandra Ekster, Mary Swanzy),
others again inspired only by certain aspects of the movement (e.g.
Natalia Goncharova, Alice Bailly, Giovanna Klien). Several artists
operated on the margins of a Futurist inspired aesthetics, but they
felt attracted to Futurism because of its support for women artists or
because of its innovatory roles in the social and intellectual
spheres. Most of the artists covered in Volume 5 (2015) are far from
straightforward cases, but exactly because of this they can offer
genuinely new insights into a still largely under-researched domain of
twentieth-century art and literature. Guiding questions for these
investigations are: How did these women come into contact with
Futurist ideas? Was it first-hand knowledge (poems, paintings,
manifestos etc) or second-hand knowledge (usually newspaper reports or
personal conversions with artists who had been in contact with
Futurism)? How did the women respond to the (positive or negative)
reports? How did this show up in their œuvre? How did it influence
their subsequent, often non-Futurist, career?
