Italian Futurism

Italian Futurism was an avant-garde art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, around 1909. It celebrated modern technology, speed, and dynamic energy, rejecting the past in favor of innovation and the excitement of urban life. Futurists believed in embracing change and often depicted movement, machinery, and the vitality of modern society in their artworks. They sought to capture the essence of modernity through bold colors, fragmented forms, and experimental techniques. This movement influenced not only visual art but also literature, music, and architecture, reflecting the enthusiasm for a rapidly changing world on the brink of World War I.
