...fact that the show opened first in Milan was only fitting, for it was there that in 1910 five rebellious painters issued a manifesto to the young artists of Italy. "We propose," they declared, "to exalt every form of originality, even if reckless, even if over violent." The futurist movement never became quite so reckless as its manifesto sounded, but for a time, at least, it did have Italy on the brink of artistic civil...
Benches & Dreams. When three of the manifesto signers-Umberto Boccioni, Luigi Russolo and Carlo Carra-held a "Futurist Evening" in Turin, they set off a riot. In Bologna, Carra was nearly killed when an exasperated antifuturist hurled a bench at him, and in Treviso the three painters had to be rescued by the police from a mob.

...stores and schools all over New York City last week, a manifesto turned up calling for a DEMONSTRATION. It was signed by two relatively unknown representational painters who were fed up with what seemed to them to be the Museum of Modern Art's lopsided patronage of the abstract, the sensational, and even the absurd. The museum, said the document, "has developed the public image of the painter as a madly inspired child, rather than an adult human being...
