Futurist Photographs

This collection presents images that belong to the Futurist artistic experimentation in photography – some of which have been made known in historical exhibitions, alongside others that are little known – as well as a selection of portraits taken by photographers who adhered to the movement, or by professionals, who with their shots captured the reactions of the Futurists in front of the lens. Without neglecting a selection of snapshots that introduce the private lives of many of the protagonists, as well as the many public occasions on which they appeared.

The overview of photographs, most of which have never been seen before, is complemented by numerous reproductions taken from original and rare Futurist publications, catalogues, posters, books and magazines.

Leafing through this album of the Futurist family will help to understand the character of what was a fundamental artistic and existential adventure of the first half of the 20th century.
