Reinterpretation of Art Utopias Seeking a Non-Functional Determination of the New Man and the New Art: Marinetti’s Tactilism and Kassák’s Art-Utopia
View through CrossRef
The present article approaches the
art prognoses of two influential figures of the historical avant-garde, Lajos Kassák and F. T. Marinetti, and scrutinises their art utopias seeking references to the future of human society. A novel aspect of this approach is maintained throughout of the contents of the manifestos which recur to ideas of ideologically ambiguous provenance that have not yet been thematised
in contemporary art discussions. With the help of the newly revealed contents, the paper attempts to discover the motivation behind Kassák’s and Marinetti’s insights and to explore, how exactly they anticipated the trends of art and its role
in future society. By linking of two influential representatives of the avant-garde, it is possible to trace important determining tendencies on several tracks that still have an impact today.
