Book excerpt: In the early 20th century, radical art movements transformed traditional art forms by challenging established norms and redefining the boundaries of art. The manifestos of Surrealism, Dada, and Futurism reflect the innovative ideas of these movements, such as Andre Breton's focus on the unconscious mind as the foundation for artistic expression and Hugo Ball's rejection of societal norms in favor of chaos and chance. Luigi Russolo's Art of Noises manifesto proposed a revolutionary approach to music that explored sound as an artistic medium. This compilation of manifestos offers valuable insights into the core principles of these movements and their ongoing impact on contemporary art. Published by Zem Books.
