In this remarkable collection of 100 manifestos from the last 100 years,
Alex Danchev presents the cacophony of voices of such diverse movements as
Futurism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Feminism, Communism, Destructivism,
Vorticism, Stridentism, Cannibalism and Stuckism, taking in along the way
film, architecture, fashion, and cookery. Artists� manifestos are nothing
if not revolutionary. They are outlandish, outrageous, and frequently
offensive. They combine wit, wisdom, and world-shaking demands. This
collection gathers together an international array of artists of every
stripe, including Kandinsky, Mayakovsky, Rodchenko, Le Corbusier, Picabia,
Dal�, Oldenburg, Vertov, Baselitz, Kitaj, Murakami, Gilbert and George,
together with their allies and collaborators � such figures as Marinetti,
Apollinaire, Breton, Trotsky, Guy Debord and Rem Koolhaas. Edited with an
Introduction by Alex Danchev
