Futurism

F. t. Marinetti Spread of Parole

in Libertà Futuriste, olfattive, tattili,

termiche (The Words-in-freedom,

Futurist, Olfactive, Tactilist, Thermal),

1932. This book is a high point of
      futurist experimental bookmaking. It
      was printed by a lithographic process
      in many colors on metal sheets. The
      layout is explosive, emphasizing the
      materiality of the work by simultane-
      ously pushing forward and breaking
      apart the printer’s metal grid.
