Recenzje

... Gunter Berghaus has filled a gap, giving at the same time a very sound account of the evolution of the ideas that Futurism engendered. The book is well designed, offering short chronological chapters with good illustrations and notes at the end of each./ Masolino D'Amico, TLS, 14/05/99.
