EDITORS COMMENTS
In the whirlwind of artistic innovation that was the early 20th century, the Futurist movement swept through the European art scene like a hysteria wave, leaving no stone unturned in its quest for the new and the modern. The Futurist Exhibition at the Sackville Gallery in 1912 was a pivotal moment in this artistic revolution, drawing in visitors from far and wide to witness the stylized, speed-infused world of Futurist art. Among the crowd in this sketch by British artist Charles Sykes, we see a bystander artist, unable to contain his excitement and inspiration. With a quizzical expression and a sketchbook in hand, he eagerly absorbs the modernist chaos around him. The Futurist Exhibition, with its bold colors, angular forms, and dynamic energy, has left an indelible mark on him. Sykes' satirical take on the scene captures the frenzy and the fad that surrounded the Futurist movement. The exaggerated expressions and caricatured figures of the visitors add a touch of humor to the historical moment, making this print not only an artistic interpretation but also a window into the past. As the wave of Futurist hysteria continued to spread, artists and art lovers alike were captivated by the modern, stylized world that the movement represented. This print serves as a testament to the influence of the Futurist Exhibition at the Sackville Gallery in 1912 and the lasting impact it had on the artistic landscape of the time.
