In The Women Artists of Italian Futurism: Almost Lost To History
(Midmarch Art Press, 1997), there's a brief mention of Pound's
admiration for the artist Benedetta (Marinetti's wife).
The theories & forms of Futurism radicalized twentieth century art --
there is little 'modern' art from the last century that doesn't
reference Futurism in some way. Yet Benedetta & Marinetti were quite
public in their admiration of fascism--if I recall correctly, Benedetta
at one point toured the country as a spokesmodel for Mussolini's new
'ideal' womanhood.
Yet, seemingly unlike Pound, the Futurists' influence is frequently
cited without the impulse to make reference to their fascist politics.
