Ivo Pannaggi, Arte Meccanica, and the International Avant-Garde

In 1922, Ivo Pannaggi and Vinicio Paladini published their “Manifesto of Futurist Mechanical Art” (“Manifesto dell’arte meccanica futurista”), launching postwar Futurist debates on the role of the machine in modern life and art. In this presentation, Christine Poggi, Professor of the History of Art, University of Pennsylvania, will consider the Futurist cult of the machine as it developed in the 1920s, expanding to include painting, theater design and costumes, advertising, graphics, and architectural decor. Focusing especially on Pannaggi, Poggi situates his Futurist work in relation to international avant-garde movements, including Purism, De Stijl, Constructivism, and the Bauhaus.
