This article is about the transition of Futurism from the East to America. The development of Futurism was caused by the influence from the Futurist Manifestos and paintings. F.T.

The article includes a summarized interview of Andre Tridon analyzing specific ways in which this movement affected the culture of the early 1900's. Tridon gives specific newspaper articles that are a direct result of the Futurism movement. By 1913 Futurism had made its impact and it seemed that it would not disappear very easily.

In this article, written by Samantha Critchell, she compares the styles of the nineteen-seventies to today. In popular fashion shows, like ones in Milan, styles of the seventies are making a comeback. Some seventies fashion consists of high-wasted skirts, flowing shirts, long dresses, trousers, and shirtdresses. The colors and patterns are distinct, which makes this decade of fashion really stand out. This article is helpful in comparing and relating seventies fashion to today's fashion.

This article talks about how Surrealism impacted American Art starting in the 1930s. Socialites across America were introduced to this movement by going to Surrealist Costume Balls and flipping through fashion magazines that contained this new form of art. Salvador Dali's "Dream of Venus" captured the attention of many and soon people were craving a desire to dream like him. Many do not realize that this movement was first accessible to and received by Americans. Surrealism actually evolved from trendsetters in fashion and entertainment within America and Europe. "The earliest examples of genuine Surrealist art to be seen in America were probably those included in Katherine Dreier's Sociata Anonyme exhibition of modern European and American art." Most information that Americans had about Surrealism came from printed articles in newspapers or magazines. Many surrealist authors related their work to the illusionary branch of Salvador Dali's work. He was by far the most influential person in this movement. Surrealism was not meant to be a type of revolution, but new insight or beginning for art.
