FILIPPO TOMMASO MARINETTI (Alexandria, Egypt, 1876-Bellagio, Como, 1944). "Futurism against passatism". London, 1914. Mixed media on paper. Signed and dated. With drawing on the back by JOSÉ CAPUZ (1884-1964). Measurements: 21 x 18 cm. Graphic composition by Marinetti, an original drawing by the founder of Futurism (perhaps a sketch for a poster), on the back of which appears a drawing by the sculptor José Capuz. Dated in London, significantly, the year of the outbreak of the First World War. Known for being the founder of the Futurist movement, the first Italian avant-garde of the nineteenth century, which served as the basis for Mussolini's fascism. Marinetti was an Italian poet, writer, ideologue, playwright and editor. He came from the utopian and symbolist artistic and literary community Abbaye de Créteil, of which he was a member between 1907 and 1908. Both as a poet and as a politician and ideologist, he was strongly influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche, Sorel, Giuseppe Mazzini and by the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, being the author of the Futurist Manifesto, written and published in 1909, and also of the Fascist Manifesto, written and published in 1919. Considered the father of Italian fascism, he worked closely with Mussolini and greatly inspired the latter. In 1942 he fought in Soviet territory as part of an Italian expeditionary force, being wounded at Stalingrad. His most famous poem is "The 5 Stars". Mainly a sculptor, although he was also a painter and draftsman, José Capuz was trained at the Royal Academies of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia and San Fernando in Madrid. He furthered his studies in the workshop of the sculptor Félix Granda and, thanks to a scholarship, he made a long trip that took him to Rome, Florence, Naples and Paris. Academic of San Fernando since 1927, he is currently represented in the Provincial Museum of Jaen and the collections of various brotherhoods, as well as public places in various Spanish cities.
