The "Manifesto of Futurism," written by Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1909, celebrates modernity, technology, and dynamism. It rejects the past and promotes a life filled with speed, machinery, and energy, reflecting the excitement of the early 20th century. Futurists valued innovation, urban life, and the beauty of industrial progress while encouraging a break from traditional art and culture.
