Marinetti's Futurism was an artistic and social movement that emerged in the early 20th century, founded by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. It celebrated modernity, technology, and speed, rejecting the past and traditional forms of art. Futurists believed that art should reflect the dynamic energy of contemporary life, embracing machines, urban landscapes, and the excitement of the future. The movement sought to provoke and inspire change, often through bold and aggressive manifestos. Futurism influenced various art forms, including painting, sculpture, and literature, encouraging artists to break free from conventions and explore new ideas. This radical approach aimed to capture the essence of a rapidly evolving world.
