100 Art Manifestos: From Futurists to Stakists

This unique book presents 100 manifestos written over the last 100 years by exceptional representatives from various fields — from architecture and poetry to fashion and cuisine. Their ideals are represented by movements in art and political movements such as... futurism, dadaism, surrealism, feminism, communism, destructivism, vorticism, stridentism, cannibalism, and stakism. The compiler of the collection, Professor Alex Dantchev, accompanies each manifesto with a historical note about the author and their era. Here are just a few of the names: Kandinsky, Mayakovsky, Rodchenko, Le Corbusier, Dali, Vertov, Murakami, Gilbert and George, Marinetti, Apollinaire, Breton, Trotsky, Guy Debord, and Rem Koolhaas. Their manifestos often carry wisdom, sometimes unexpected revelations, and occasionally shock value; some may seem strange or provocative — the choice for the reader is rich and engaging.
