My response to the Futurist Manifesto is as follows. I found myself feeling very emotionally driven when reading it, I think that's because I find such joy in going to museums and honoring those works of art. I entirely understood everything that was being said and in some degree I agreed with it as well. I like the idea of allowing art to continually grow and to not get stuck in trying to replicate or aspire to be what those art works are. But I think there is still definitely significance in pieces that have stood the test of time and find themselves in museums. Another phrase I did not agree with was that all art came from pain and scorn and disaster. To me, art is a beautiful thing that, yes, can come from hardship and pain but can also be a release of beautiful emotions and beliefs. Overall I believe that the manifesto has some incredible outlines and thoughts for art, but I think that the drastic nature of it places a very rigid limit on the range of design that art should be able to explore and expand to for many years to come.
