-Symbolist
-Synesthesia
-Futurism
-Filippo Tamasso Marinetti
While he is more often remembered as one of the greatest proponents of Futurism, Filippo Tamasso Marinetti, had roots in the Symbolists as well. This gave him a perfect jump-off point to enter the world of Futurism; where as you know, total destruction was encouraged. Since Symbolists harnessed the technique of suggestion through form and the Futurists wished to destroy the current aesthetic in response to the state of the world as they saw it. It would be nieve to presume that they had no future plans for the aftermath of this destruction. So while they began destroying their current aesthetic why not use the suggestive qualities of artists influenced by the suggestive nature of the Symbolists like Marinetti to guide their followers into a system that they condoned. Otherwise as a universal lanquage was being developed it would be hard to influence the way that it would turn out.
The images that are attached are most certainly poetic with the appearance of destruction as well. In certain instances you can see only portions of the letterforms, relating to this idea of suggestion that the Symbolists embodied. The text in the middle is broken up into verse like lines of text and further establishes a Symbolist attachment to Marinetti's work.
