Description
In 1910 my brother Bruno Corra and I published the pamphlet Art of the Future. The book was read by many writers, painters, musicians and journalists and was judged in various ways, but they all agreed that they did not understand anything about it. One can easily excuse them... This time I will try to speak only of Painting" This is how this short manifesto on the painting of the future begins, introduced by a Preface by Bruno Corra. The two Ginanni Corradini brothers, Bruno and Arnaldo, are two of the most interesting figures of the first Futurist movement. Rechristened futuristically by Balla (Ginna from gymnastics and Corra from running), they committed themselves to the search for a fusion between the arts that would give life to the Art of the Future, the subject of the volume cited by Arnaldo. Arnaldo in particular was an experimental painter in the field of pure chromatism and editor with Marinetti in 1916 of the Manifesto of Futurist Cinematography, after some experiments with abstract short films of Cinepittura and the film Vita Futurista in collaboration with his brother, Balla and Marinetti. The volume bears the autograph dedication of the painter to Countess Margot Besozzi di Castelbesozzo, renamed by D'Annunzio Fiammadoro, a legionary with her husband in the enterprise of Fiume and lover of D'Annunzio, a feminist ante litteram, a truly fascinating female figure.
