cant give a citation, but i think its one part having to live a life surrounded and somewhat in deference to the past and on the otherhand their weird, toxic way of dealing with the unparalleled violence of the time - to be just as violent

but dont mix the futurists with these luddite fascists

Affirmation of the will to live. Iconoclasm comes from the reaction of the will to the silencing effects of beauty and art. The fear that the will will be snuffed out appears.

That is why the futurists, who base their whole life of this affirmation, fear age and death. Art is a little piece of death in life.

Museums represent the Apollonian dream as escape from the dark and horrible nature of life, whereas the Dionysian impulse is to embrace that life without delusion or escape and affirm it. Edmund Burke articulates well the protest of the Apollonian in complaining of the sins of the French Revolution

>All the decent drapery of life is to be rudely torn off. All the super-added ideas, furnished from the wardrobe of a moral imagination, which the heart owns and the understanding ratifies as necessary to cover the defects of our naked, shivering nature, and to raise it to dignity in our own estimation, are to be exploded as a ridiculous, absurd, and antiquated fashion.

Because they couldn't imagine plausible futures anymore.

They hated the dusty and artificial crystallization the bourgeois academics promoted. They wanted to give new blood to an intrepid artistic culture that accepted the new scenarios of modernity.
It would be a mistake to think they were against antiquity in general: in fact, Marinetti translated Tacitus' Germania, obviously in his personal and swift prose.

They were right. Just look at modern Europe: one giant open air museum. Utterly buck broken by America.
