Love the Italian Futurist, Fauvist are cool too. Early Kandinsky and Joseph Albers, the bauhaus school influences

I do not love or hate them. They are OK to me, not great, not awful.

Well, they're interesting, but I don't find myself emotionally engaged with them. I do get to see good exhibitions of Italian 20th century art at the Estorick Collection in London, from time to time. My favourite artist of the 20th century would be Giorgio Morandi.

giacomo balla ( oneof the founders of futurism) and here is one of my faves by him

Considering they were fascists, I'm not too sure about them- however, some did change their tune later on down the road.
