Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, ‘Manifesto of Futurism’, 1909 We intend to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and fearlessness. We affirm that the world’s magnificence has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing car whose hood is adorned with great pipes, like serpents of explosive breath – a roaring car that seems to run on shrapnel is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace. For too long has Italy been a dealer in second-hand clothes. We mean to free her from the numberless museums that cover her like so many graveyards. From Art in Theory, pp 146 -149.
Umberto Boccioni, The City Rises, 1910
The gesture which we would reproduce on canvas shall no longer be a fixed moment in universal dynamism. It shall simply be the dynamic sensation itself. . . On account of the persistency of an image upon the retina moving objects constantly multiply themselves … Thus a running horse has not four legs, but twenty, and their movements are triangular. Boccioni, ‘Futurist painting: Technical Manifesto’, 1910 in Art in Theory, (p. 149 -152, p 150, l. 16 -22)

Wassily Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art, 1912 When religion, science, and morality are shaken (the last by the mighty hand of Nietzsche), when the external supports threaten to collapse, then man’s gaze turns away from the external toward himself. Literature, music, and art are the first and most sensitive realms where this spiritual change becomes noticeable in real form…. they turn away from the soulless content of modern life, toward materials and environments that give a free hand to the nonmaterial strivings and searchings of the thirsty soul.
