Product Description

Review

The Manifesto is remarkable for its imaginative power ... it is the first great modernist work of art (Marshall Berman )

This collection is a must ... because the passion that erupted in the early 20th century is in such counterpoint to our own more apathetic era (Lesley McDowell Independent )

This ingenious anthology...is an inspiring book (Scotland on Sunday )

100 Artists' Manifestos [is] deftly selected and stylishly introduced by Alex Danchev (Terry Eagleton Times Literary Supplement )

An absorbing capsule history of culture over the past century (John Gray Literary Review )

Product Description

In this remarkable collection of 100 manifestos from the last 100 years, Alex Danchev presents the cacophony of voices of such diverse movements as Futurism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Feminism, Communism, Destructivism, Vorticism, Stridentism, Cannibalism and Stuckism, taking in along the way film, architecture, fashion, and cookery.

Artists' manifestos are nothing if not revolutionary. They are outlandish, outrageous, and frequently offensive. They combine wit, wisdom, and world-shaking demands. This collection gathers together an international array of artists of every stripe, including Kandinsky, Mayakovsky, Rodchenko, Le Corbusier, Picabia, Dalí, Oldenburg, Vertov, Baselitz, Kitaj, Murakami, Gilbert and George, together with their allies and collaborators - such figures as Marinetti, Apollinaire, Breton, Trotsky, Guy Debord and Rem Koolhaas. Edited with an Introduction by Alex Danchev

Clear and to the point. An excellent collection for student or theorists, and a fascinating review of creative, emotive responses from minds across the century in response to the key eras and cultural forces that shaped us all.

Having seen this book at the Tate while visiting the Vorticists exhibition, as an artist I couldn't resist buying it. Concise introductions to each manifesto enlighten the reader and draw you into the strange and sometimes perverse worlds of the art movements that have shaped 20th century thought and aesthetics. I love it and draw on it every time I have a crisis of creativity - an inspiring read!
