Note 63 — XI FUTURISM

Signor Marinetti is the founder of the school; he is not a painter, but a writer, editor of “Poesia.” He is a young man and is followed by a small band of young enthusiastic writers, poets, musicians, painters, sculptors, whose innovations strike even the cubists as wild extravagances. In fact, Futurism and Cubism have very little in common except innovation; both are revolutionary but otherwise diametrically opposed in many of their aims and theories.
