In this one-of-a-kind volume, indispensable for students of art,
architecture and film, Alex Danchev presents 100 Artists'
Manifestos, each reproduced with an introduction on the author and
the associated movement, in Penguin Modern Classics. This
remarkable collection of 100 manifestos from the last 100 years is
cacophony of voices from such diverse movements as Futurism,
Dadaism, Surrealism, Feminism, Communism, Destructivism, Vorticism,
Stridentism, Cannibalism and Stuckism, taking in along the way
film, architecture, fashion, and cookery. Artists' manifestos are
nothing if not revolutionary. They are outlandish, outrageous, and
frequently offensive. They combine wit, wisdom, and world-shaking
demands. This collection gathers together an international array of
artists of every stripe, including Kandinsky, Mayakovsky,
Rodchenko, Le Corbusier, Picabia, Dali, Oldenburg, Vertov,
Baselitz, Kitaj, Murakami, Gilbert and George, together with their
allies and collaborators - such figures as Marinetti, Apollinaire,
Breton, Trotsky, Guy Debord and Rem Koolhaas. Editor Alex Danchev
is the author of an acclaimed biography of artist Georges Braque
and is Professor of International Relations at the University of
Nottingham. His other works include Alanbrooke War Diaries: Field
Marshall Lord Alanbrooke, The Iraq War and Democratic Politics and
On Art and War and Terror. If you enjoyed 100 Artists' Manifestos,

Penguin Modern Classics. 'The Manifesto is remarkable for its
imaginative power ... it is the first great modernist work of art'
