Milano (Direction du Mouvement Futuriste), 1910.. (4)pp. (single sheet, folding). 4to. Self-wraps. The second manifesto signed by the five Futurist painters, known as the Technical Manifesto of the Futurist Painters (though the French version does not carry the full title). The vagueness of the threats and promises [of the original Manifesto of the Futurist Painters] was remedied two months later in the Technical Manifesto of Futurist Painting, published again by Poesia on 11 April 1910. The key to their painting was to be the concept of universal dynamism hinted at in Marinettis initial manifesto. This was perhaps the single most prevalent preoccupation of their time, bringing together the philosophical legacy of Nietzsche and Bergson, the intuitive approach of the Symbolists, and contemporary scientific explorations of the relationship between mind and matter (Tisdall/ Bozzola).
