Futurism attracted me and made me better, gave me a new strength, showed me new fields and possibilities.

So I think, so I paint (1947)

The first and foremost critic of a work of art is the artist who created it. Give him every means to illustrate it and make it known. If an artist awaits celebrity or gratefulness for his work through other people, he will have the time to die a thousand times for sheer hunger.

So I think, so I paint (1947)

The Futurists were the first painters, poets, and architects who exalted modern work with their art—

If a painter once devoted himself to dynamism and now abandons it, denies it and even criticizes it, it is his own business. This does not mean, however that futurism has had his day. It is always worthy of interest and many artists still work in its ranks with unchanged passion. Dynamism is in life and in nature itself.
