    {Workshop.jpg} Workshop by Wyndham LewisDefinition
    Vorticism was a revolutionary artistic movement created to promote the avant-garde style. Some of it's most noteworthy participants include: Wyndham Lewis, Ezra Pound, and Henri Gaudier-Brzeska. The London-based creators lasted as a group for only six months, but the influence of Vorticism was fairly wide-spread, providing a foundation for modernist art. Its creators saw themselves as teachers, showing people how to read the language of modern times. Vorticism relied on bold statements - both visually and poetically - in order to portray instantaneous energy. Therefore, the use of strong colors and thick lines created a sense of intensity. In addition to the visual element, Vorticist writers created poetry with a multitude of perspective and temporal layers.

    public brawl.
    Marinetti later came out in support of the Italian campaign in Libya, of which he became a war correspondent. From there, he wrote Zang Tumb Tuuum. After that Marinetti created the words-in-freedom manifesto called Manifesto Tecnico Della Letterature Futuristi, or The Technical Manifesto of Futurist Literature. Marinetti became even more involved with politics when he allied with Ardengo Saffici and Giovanni in 1913 to publish his works that highly supported Italian participation in World War I.
    Later, he became a part of the Lombard cyclist battalion; he was decorated for his bravery and finally established Futurism as a fascist political party. In the 1920's and 30's, Marinetti moved to Rome and started a new phase of Futurism called Aeopittura, an artistic movement that put an emphasis on the poetry of sensation and speed of flight. He also coined the term "poesia dei tenicism', in which newly developed scientific, technological, and economic terms were introduced to poetry. In 1942, he fought on the Russian side of World War II and wrote his last manifesto "La Patriate". In 1944, he moved to Bellagio di Como and died soon after.

    Famous Works
    "The Founding and Manifesto of Futurism"One of Marinetti's most famous works is the Founding Manifesto of Futurism. It was drafted in 1909 by Marinetti along with Carlo Carrá, Umberto Boccioni, Luigi Russolo and Gino Severini. The Manifesto of Futurism is an ode to life, the car, technology, out with the old, in with the new, a rumpus of welcomed chaos and anger. War-like imagery acts as a precursor to World War I and welcomes the infliction of chaos into the world. It was the first published establishment of Futurist "rules" (since there were many more thereafter). It outlines the ten primary points of Futurism to lay the framework for its development. By detailing the scene of a youth-frenzied car crash, Marinetti set up the notion that speed + technology + youth = freedom, and that all resistance to these aspects was stagnant and cowardly.

    "The Technical Manifesto of Futurist Literature""The Technical Manifesto of Futurist Literature" is a formal introduction to Marinetti's words-in-freedom technique. It details the fundamental basics of the technique as a way to liberate language from its confines of grammar and punctuation. It also called for the destruction of "I in literature" as an old, habitual habit keeping poets grounded in the past. More can be read about this manifesto on the words-in-freedom page.

    Futurism was an early 20th century artistic movement that originated in Italy in 1909, when F.T. Marinetti published his manifesto, Le Futurisme. Futurism emphasizes the power of speed, the machine, and continual production through change in the industrialized world. Futurists celebrated change and speed, and wanted to disregard the past. Though the movement started in Italy, it quickly spread throughout Europe and greatly influenced Russia.
