Depero designed and published the book himself. According to "Meggs' History of Graphic Design", "In 1927 Depero published his 'Depero Futurista', a compilation of his typographical experiments, advertisements, tapestry designs, and other works. 'Depero Futurista' is a precursor of the artist's book, published by an artist as a creative expression independent of the publishing establishment."

I do think that the Futurists would love today's technology - reading through Depero's work for this project, I found that he had ideas that were not really possible to bring to fruition using the tech of his day. He was ahead of his time, for sure. He was also playful in his work. I'm glad you like the color palette we used - after visiting his home and archives in Rovereto, we (a team of 7 graduate students) were inspired by his sense of whimsy. The colors we used were meant to highlight that aspect, as well as his theatrical sensibilities. Thanks so much, Kelly!

You interpret Depero so perfectly, colorfully! I think he'd be proud. Futurist would love technology, right? Cory, your puppets are totally amazing. You interpret Depero so perfectly, colorfully!

We have been completely inspired by Fortunato Depero, and have re-imagined his 1918 puppetry ballet, Balli Plastici, for the digital age. Please take a look at our website, and let me know if you have any questions about the project. Long live Futurism! Hi,
