Futurism was an artistic movement that emphasized speed and natural and mechanical motion.
This artistic movement was created in Italy in 1909 by poet Filippo Tomasso Marinetti. He published the Manifesto of Futurism on the front page of Le Figaro, a relevant Paris newspaper.
In the manifesto, he proclaimed the beauty of speed. He even said that the speed of a racing car is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace.
The main characteristics of Futurism were:
- Criticism of past works of art as "oppressive".
- Celebration of modern marvels of industry and technology.
- Expression of dynamism, movement, speed.
Some relevant artists from this artistic movement are Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, and Gino Severini.
