Category: Futurism

Futurism is an artistic and social movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily in Italy. It emphasizes modernity, technology, speed, youth, and violence, celebrating the dynamic nature of life and the transformative potential of the future. Futurists rejected the past and traditional forms of art, seeking instead to express the energy and dynamism of contemporary life through bold and innovative artistic techniques. The movement encompassed various art forms, including painting, sculpture, literature, and architecture, and was characterized by a fascination with machinery, urban environments, and the exhilaration of modern technology. Overall, Futurism sought to break away from historical artistic conventions and create a new vision that aligned with the spirit of progress in the early modern world.
