Question

One of these works by Hirato Renkichi contains a section in which the word ‘people’ gets progressively bigger 8 times in a row. One of these works asserts “A tattoo is beautiful but far from being meaningful” and states that the title action is performed “because a clean face is disgusting.” Another one of these works aspires “to sing the love of danger” and asserts that “beauty exists only in struggle.” The speaker of that one of these works flies out of his (*) car into a ditch (10[1])after stopping to avoid hitting a set of bicyclists. Mikhail Larionov and Ilya Zdanavich’s “Why We Paint Our Faces” and “A Slap in the Face of Public Taste” are Russian examples of these works. One of these works states that “a roaring motor-car” is “more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace.” For 10 points, Filippo Marinetti authored what kind of document which defines an art movement praising speed and technology? ■END■
