CARRÀ Carlo (1881-1966)
Guerrapittura. Political futurism. Dinamismo plastico.
12 Disegni guerreschi. Parole in libertà
Milano, Edizioni futuriste di "Poesia", 1915. In-8, 114 pp. in Italian.
Typographical cover printed in black, cover with protective flaps.
Off-text illustrations in black, complete with the 12 drawings reproduced on glossy paper. Photographic reproduction of the artist facing the title. This book, published shortly before Italy entered the war in the spring of 1915, is the last contribution of this Italian artist, Carlo Carrà, to the Futurist movement of which he was one of the founders. He left in 1916 to join Giorgio de Chirico in founding the "Pittura Metafisica" movement.
Guerrapittura is Carrà's response to Umberto
Boccioni's Dinamismo plastico of 1914.
At the end of the volume, two of the most distinctive Futurist manifestos are reproduced: the "Programma politico futurista" on a double-page spread, and the "Sintesi futurista della guerra" on a fold-out sheet.
