What is "futurism"?
Futurism was an art and cultural movement that began in Italy in the early 20th century. It aimed to show the energy, speed, and new developments of modern life, especially focusing on the excitement of technological advances and city life. Futurist artists, like Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and Umberto Boccioni, used lively designs and bold colors to convey motion and the quick changes of the modern world. They often depicted subjects such as machines, vehicles, and city views in a way that emphasized their movement and energy. Futurism aimed to move away from traditional art forms and welcome the possibilities of the new, quickly changing age.
