Description

“In 1910 my brother Bruno Corra and I published the booklet Arte dell'Avvenire.. The book read by many writers, painters, musicians and journalists was variously judged, but all agreed that they did not understand anything. One can easily excuse them... This time I will try to speak only of Painting” Thus begins this brief manifesto on the painting of the future, introduced by a Preface by Bruno Corra. The two Ginanni Corradini brothers, Bruno and Arnaldo, are two of the most interesting figures of the early Futurist movement. Futuristically renamed by Balla (Ginna from gymnastics and Corra to run), they committed themselves to the search for a fusion of 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 painter's handwritten dedication to Countess Margot Besozzi of Castelbesozzo, renamed by D'Annunzio Fiammadoro, legionary with her husband in the Fiume enterprise and lover of D'Annunzio, ante litteram feminist, a truly fascinating figure of woman.
