This volume explores the fraught relationship between Futurism and
the Sacred. Like many fin-de-siecle intellectuals, the Futurists
were fascinated by various forms of esotericism such as theosophy
and spiritualism and saw art as a privileged means to access states
of being beyond the surface of the mundane world. At the same time,
they viewed with suspicion organized religions as social
institutions hindering modernization and ironically used their
symbols. In Italy, the theorization of "Futurist Sacred Art" in the
1930s began a new period of dialogue between Futurism and the
Catholic Church. The essays in the volume span the history of
Futurism from 1909 to 1944 and consider its different
configurations across different disciplines and geographical
locations, from Polish and Spanish literature to Italian art and
American music.
