 Futurism and its impact to Graphic Design 
 As the turn of the century swept Italy off its feet, a thirst for something new and unrelated to the past was brewing. The experimentation of the Futurist movement drastically changed the way typography and design were to be handled from 1909 on. 
 Futurism was founded in 1909 by the Italian poet Filippo Marinetti, originally as a literary movement but quickly expanded to other artistic disciplines

WWII) Brief history Futurism was an art movement as well as a social movement that was developed in 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

Words on paper can sometimes seem a long way off the tangibility of real world design, but every great building starts its life on paper. Architectural beliefs and sensibilities are established through a system of thought, a manifesto that dictates how and for what reasons design choices are made. The manifesto encompasses more than just architecture so it performs a grounding role, contextualising and justifying design in a paradigm of thought appropriate to the time and space from which it had

Movements such as Futurism, Cubism and Impressionism saw Artists such as Umberto Boccioni, Claude Monet, and Pablo Picasso use the speed, and compression to reference the leisure filled Modern City, while trying to keep pace with the advances(Technological and Theoretical), which were breaking the Traditional way of life. Examples of this include; Umberto Boccioni’s, The City Rises (1910); Claude Monet’s, Boulevard des Capucines (1873); and Pablo Picasso’s, Absinthe Drinker (1901). By embracing

decided to write my analysis on “Street Light,” by Giacomo Balla. I chose this painting because the colors and aspects of it intrigue me. I am also familiar with it, which can help aid me in my analysis. I was extremely interested when we discussed Futurism in class, and I was happy that I could find something in the Museum of Modern Art that had to do with that particular movement, especially a painting that we touched upon. The painting itself was much larger than I anticipated in person, and stood

He was one of the stand out figures in Futurism, and "Giacomo Balla (1871-1958)... was among others who signed the 'Manifesto of the Futurist Painters' during interwar years, were already inclined to an interest in the heated, fantasy mixed with modernist machine-worship and extremist political rhetoric of Marinetti's manifesto," (Richard Humphreys, Futurism). Along with many other artists, Balla signed the Futurist Manifesto during the interwar period

and paintings. Boccioni and Malevich are two great painters. Boccioni is an artist, one of the sculptors of the Italians in early 20 century. Boccioni was born in Italy, on 19 October 1882 in Reggio Calabria. He is a pioneer of school futurism. He drew a lot of famous paintings that are still until now, for instance, dynamisms of a soccer player, state of mind and self-portrait. In February 23, 1879, Moscow Malevich was born and his

1. Introduction The futurist art movement and its characteristic manifestos had a significant impact on ‘modernist’ art movements since the 20th century. Aside from founder Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, who was a poet, many manifestos were written by painters or about visual art: Marinetti’s two founding manifestos were directly followed by three manifestos by Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Giacomo Balla, Luigi Russolo, and Gino Severini, all of whom were painters. In 1911, composer Francesco Balilla
