Known only by her first name, Benedetta Cappa worked across an impressive range of media, from ceramics and glass to paint and metal. The tactile experience of art was of great importance to her. Unusually for the time, she had first-hand experience flying in an airplane, and, inspired by these new perspectives, set out to overcome “earthbound limitations” in paint. The resulting fusion of paint and flight with her signature rhythmic patterns of colour slices put her at the forefront of Futurist exhibitions. As well as writing poetry, she penned essays exploring women’s place in the Fascist state: “I am too free and rebellious,” she told Futurism’s founder Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. “I do not want to be restricted. I want only to be me.” She married him. https://www.anothermag.com/art-photography/10840/five-female-futurists-who-thrived-during-arts-most-misogynistic-movement
