Document Summary
Objections raised against our destructive anti traditionalist principle. The masterpieces of the past are all that remains of a vast number of works of art that have disappeared because of their ugliness or fragility. Modern phenomenon such as the democratic spirit the decline of religions have reduced to uselessness the great, decorative, imperishable buildings that one expressed kingly authority, theocracy and mysticism. A modern aesthetic directly responsive to utility no need of royal palaces. Were creating the new aesthetics f speed. We have almost abolished the concept of space and notably diminish the concept of time. We will son arrive at the abolition of the year, the day and the hour. The works in which we have expressed this whirlwind of intense life spinning toward an ideal future cannot be understood and appreciated by a public overwhelmed by our savage eruption and offended by our cruel violence. Nothing is more beautiful than the steel frame of a house under construction.
