Futurismo in arte: cos’è? Caratteristiche, artisti e opere più importanti del periodo futurista

Futurism was an artistic and social movement that took place in Italy from 1909 to 1916. Founder Marinetti published a manifesto extolling modern technology and rejecting tradition. The Futurists admired youth, violence, the automobile, the airplane, and the industrial city. They were also active nationalists who extolled originality and glorified science, but denied the past and tradition. Futurism celebrated modern technology and rejected the past, including Italy's artistic heritage. The movement believed in violence and war as means of cultural change. Marinetti published the Futurist Manifesto in La Gazzetta dell'Emilia and Le Figaro, followed by the Manifesto of Futurist Painters. The latter criticized classical art and celebrated modern technology. The Futurists published over fifty manifestos, guiding artists toward this new artistic style, which drew inspiration from Expressionism, Post-Impressionism, Cubism, and the music of Stravinsky. Initially, many Futurists saw war as a way to improve the world and even glorified violence. However, when many of them were killed or wounded in war, their enthusiasm for war waned. Although some Italian Futurists supported Fascism, their attempt to make Futurism the official art of the Fascist state was unsuccessful. Futurism evolved over the decades, influencing many other avant-garde artistic movements of the 20th century. ---- Art and the Cities is my personal blog and YouTube channel about art and travel. Or rather, art travel. I don't just talk about art history, but also about travel, museums, galleries, the art market, love stories, books, exhibitions, and much more. » Blog: https://artandthecities.com/ Instagram:   / artnthecities   See you soon, Clelia #art #historyofart #modernart #contemporaryart
