Futurism
- Futurism was an artistic and literary movement in the early 20th century in Europe. It is considered by some to be the most revolutionary of the avant-garde movements of that period. Futurism was proclaimed in 1909 by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, an Italian writer, in the Futurist Manifesto published in the newspaper the Figaro. The artists' motivation lay in their passion for life, action, machinery the future and a certain sense of rage against prevailing “bourgeois” values.
