LE FUTURISME nr 4. 11 FEB. 1925. LA NOUVELLE RELIGION – MORALE DE LA VITESSE

Milan: Direzione del Movimento Futurista, Jan. 1925

29 x 23cm, 4pp. Quarto single sheet folded to comprise 4pp. The French language issue (simultaneously with the French) of this single number from the primary Futurist journal with a reprinting of the Futuriste manifesto on speed (with later additions when compared with the first publication in 1916). “La vitesse, qui a pour essence la synthese intuitive de toutes les forces en mouvement, est naturellement pure. La lenteur, qui a pou essence…. analyse rationelle de toutes les fatigues est naturellement immonde. Apres la destruction du Bien antique et du Mal antique, nous craons un nouveau Bien: la vitesse; un nouveau Mal: la lenteur”.

Some typical browning, paper slightly fragile, and some slight edge wear and tiny amounts of paper loss along fold – otherwise a very good example of this very important document.
