Futurism:
Inspired by the development of Cubism, the Futurist movement was founded in 1909
by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, along with painters Giacomo Balla, Umberto
Boccioni, Carlo Carr?, and Gino Severini. The school, which celebrated
technology and the mechanical era, was comprised of painters, sculptors,
designers, architects, and writers. Motion and machines were two main themes of
this movement, which attacked the bastions of establishment and sparked
controversy by its glorification of war and support of Fascism. Experimenting
with movement, and speed, and abstract light and color, the Futurists developed
approaches and techniques that were revolutionary at the time, and in retrospect
one can see that the Futurists influenced other avant-garde art movements, most
notably Russian Constructivism.
