Italian Futurists

"To suspect the sincerity or good faith of a Futurist is a good deal like questioning the integrity of a man who chooses to pass his entire life alone on a mountain top."

- so wrote playwright and culture critic Mary Cass Canfield on the topic of the Italian Futurists - a group of artists, she tended to feel, who would have been better off had they pursued other matters.
