Filippo Tommaso Marinetti

In 1901, Boccioni first visited the Famiglia Artistica, a society for artists in Milan. After moving there in 1907, he became acquainted with fellow Futurists including the famous poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. The two would later join with others in writing manifestos on futurism. 4) Gino Severini (1883 – 1966) Gino Severini was Italian painter.

stars!” Published in 1909, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti concluded his highly influential Futurist Manifesto with this emphatic line. But for those who have read Friedrich Nietzsche, this may sound familiar. Thus Spake Zarathustra, one of Nietzsche’s most well-known works, opens with an almost identical image, namely, a man at the peak of a mountain shouting his convictions at sun, whom he refers to as “thou exuberant star.”(Zarathustra, 53). During the perid in which Marinetti wrote the Manifesto, Nietzsche’s

Modernism is an art movement that became increasingly popular towards the end of the 1800’s. This is a movement that followed the likes of the renaissance and romanticism. It encouraged the avant-garde and the expression of new ideas with a rejection of the past but was not confined to a specific style. There are many art theories that flourished in the modern era and many were created as reactions to others. Examples of modern art movements are impressionism, expressionism, dada, surrealism and

movement. Just like other modernist art movements before it, Futurism departed from the traditional, but was far more radical. The futurist movement had a manifesto that proceeded the art movement that wanted radical innovation of the Arts. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, an Italian contemporary poet, stipulated that the futurist art would set out to portray movement and be very modern. He thought that most things in Italy at the time, particularly art, was not at all modern. The country was filled with too

Italy in the early 20th Century. It was all about being avant-garde (experimental / pushing the boundaries) and embracing ideas of the future. Futurism was seen as a rebellion, being purposely revolutionary. Futurism was launched when Filoppo Marinetti (1876-1944) published his Manifesto of Futurism in the Paris Newspaper Le Figaro (20th February 1909) This made futurism a revolutionary movement as all the arts could test their ideas and forms against the new realities of scientific and industrial

Introduction The early Twentieth Century faced a series of movements that made an impact during that period. Two of these major movements are Cubism and Futurism, which contrast in their origins, philosophies, and method of creating art, their distinguishing characteristics, and method of relating the subject and viewer in time and space, as well as the artists involved and their unique artworks. By comparing both Movements, I will be able to distinguish the difference as well as the similarities

Architecture had a great influence on graphic design from the 1900's to 1950's. Many art movements and artists influenced Graphic Design. Peter Behrens, El Lissitesky, Bauhaus, and Futurism all greatly impacted the Graphic Design concepts of today. Design was blended with architecture, especially in the Bauhaus school in Germany. Peter Behrens is one of the most influential German designers. At the beginning of the century, he brought forth amazing works in architecture, graphic design, and painting

using geometrics would have profound influences on art movements around the world. One such movement that was influenced by Cubism’s use of geometrics was Futurism. Its founder, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti “called for a style that linked contemporary expression to industry, technology, and urban life.” (Fiero, p.11) Marinetti was captivated by early 20th century technology: the speed of the car, the airplane and the emerging industrial city. In 1909 in a series of manifestos, he fiercely prompted the

Futurism and Fascism were two essential movements in the history of the Italian state. Futurism was an attempt to rid Italy of its past and create a new, improved country through the destruction and aggression while fascism was a radical, political movement. The relationship between these two ideas continues to be questioned. Did Fascism cause Futurism, vice versa, or is there in fact no correlation between the two? I will discuss the interaction between Fascism and Futurism as well as several pieces

motifs, with no value being placed in the unnecessary decorative features of that bygone era. Technological advancement in the early 1900s included the advent of new forms of transportation, and with these came a new found sense of speed — something Marinetti describes in his original manifesto as “the beauty of speed”.3 The importance of motion and kineticism is evident in the futurist artworks of Giacomo Balla, especially in Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash (1912). The depiction of the dog being walked
