The Handbook of International Futurism is the first reference work
ever to presents in a comparative fashion all media and countries in
which the movement, initiated by F.T. Marinetti in 1909, exercised a
particularly noteworthy influence. The handbook offers a synthesis of
the state of scholarship regarding the international radiation of
Futurism and its influence in some fifteen artistic disciplines and
thirty-eight countries. While acknowledging the great achievements of
the movement in the visual and literary arts of Italy and Russia, it
treats Futurism as an international, multidisciplinary phenomenon that
left a lasting mark on the manifold artistic manifestations of the
early twentieth-century avant-garde. Hundreds of artists, who in some
phase in their career absorbed Futurist ideas and stylistic devices,
are presented in the context of their national traditions, their
international connections and the media in which they were
predominantly active. The handbook acts as a kind of
multi-disciplinary, geographical encyclopaedia of Futurism and gives
scholars with varying levels of experience a detailed overview of all
countries and disciplines in which the movement had a major impact.
