Futurism in Eastern and Central Europe In the pasttwenty years,
there has been a remarkable upsurge of interest in Futurism in most
countries formerly situated east of the Iron Curtain. Although
Russian Futurism was always well-known, the multifaceted extensions
of Futurism in other Eastern countries were not much reported on in
Italy and nearly forgotten after 1945. However, since 1989, a
wealth of original material has been rediscovered, both in the
literary and the artistic field. In this volume, sixteen experts
present a wide spectrum of new findings on artists who operated
within the shifting coordinates of the international avant-garde
and contributed to the often osmotic relations between Futurism,
Dada and Constructivism. The essays include a discussion of the
multi-national character of Futurism in Central and Eastern Europe
and the colonialist absorption of avant-garde practices in the
Soviet Union; the Berlin directorate of the Futurist movement and
its modes of operation in the international avant-garde scene of
the 1920s; the infiltration of Futurism in the typographical
practices of Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland; the hitherto
almost unexamined contacts between Latvian artists and Futurism;
Polish Responses to Italian Futurism; the similarities and
differences between Zenitism and Futurism; the artistic ambitions
of the Ukrainian Pan-Futurists in the 1920s; the Futurist
experience in Transcaucasian Georgia; the reception of Futurist
ideas in the Activist circles of Hungary; the public presence of a
mute Futurism in the Czech avant-garde; Marinetti s visits to
Bucharest and Budapest in the 1930s; the hybrid identity of the
Bulgarian artist Diulgheroff and his career as an architect and
designer in Turin; the role of Italian Futurism in the Slovenian
interwar avant-garde; the aesthetic affinities and political
divergences between Italian and Romanian Futurism."
