Futurism emphasized the dynamism, speed, energy & power of the machine & the vitality, change & restlessness of modern life just after the turn of the century.
Futurism was βbornβ on 2/20/1909, when Le Figaro published the radical & bombastic manifesto by F.T. Marinetti. He fully intended to outrage the establishment.
Marinetti coined the word Futurism to reflect his goal of discarding the art of the past & celebrating change, originality, & innovation in culture & society.
Futurist painting used elements of neo-impressionism & cubism to create compositions that expressed the idea of the dynamism, the energy & movement, of modern life.
Umberto Boccioni - Visioni Simultanee - circa 1911 city
But most importantly Futurists sought to portray the objectβs movement, so their works typically include βrhythmic spatial repetitionsβ of an objectβs outlines during transit.
The effect resembles multiple photographic exposures (MPE) of a moving object. Perhaps they were influenced by photographer Eadweard Muybridgeβs work capturing a horse galloping via MPE.
An example is Ballaβs painting Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash (1912), in which a trotting dachshundβs legs are depicted as a blur of multiple images.
While the Cubists favored still life & portraiture, the Futurists preferred subjects such as speeding automobiles and trains, racing cyclists, dancers, animals, and urban crowds.
The Charge of the Lancers. Umberto Boccioni - 1915
Futurist paintings feature a riot of bright & vibrant colors & reveal dynamic compositions in which rhythmically swirling forms resemble βviolentβ movement.
He realized his theories in two sculptures, Development of a Bottle in Space (1912), in which he represented both the inner and outer contours of a bottle,
And Unique Forms of Continuity in Space (1913), in which a human figure is not portrayed as one solid form but is instead composed of the multiple planes in space through which the figure moves.
Antonio SantβEliaβs visionary architectural drawings of highly mechanized cities & boldly modern skyscrapers influence some of the most imaginative 20th-century architectural planning.
Antonio Sant'Elia: "Studio per una Centrale Elettrica", 1914.
Boccioniβs death, combined with expansion of the groupβs personnel & the sobering realities of the devastation caused by World War I, effectively brought an end to the Futurist movement.
βPost WWI, many artists rejected the avant-garde notions of futurism & other pre-war movements, by using more traditional & familiar approaches, a phenomenon described as the βreturn to orderβ.β
