"Marinetti's Manifesto," written by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1909, is a foundational text of the Futurism movement. It celebrates modernity, technology, and speed, rejecting the past and traditional art forms. Marinetti calls for a new aesthetic that embraces the energy of the industrial age, advocating for a break from historical influences. The manifesto emphasizes themes such as violence, youth, and the beauty of machinery. Marinetti's work inspired artists and writers to explore innovative techniques and ideas, leading to a cultural shift in early 20th-century Europe. It laid the groundwork for various avant-garde movements that followed.
