Gino Severini Quote

The Cubists and the other avantgarde [in France] can see the danger of being called Futurists. They are attracted by research involving the movement and the complexity of subjects. To avoid this kind of treat, they invented Orphism.

In a letter to Marinetti, 31 March 1913; as quoted in 'Severini futurista', op. cit, p. 146.
