Futurism flourished in Italy for a short time between 1909 to about 1918.

Futurism emphasized the dynamism, speed, energy & power of the machine & the vitality, change & restlessness of modern life just after the turn of the century.

Although short lived, the movement’s influence proved strong across Europe, most significantly to the Russian avant-garde.

Futurism was β€˜born’ 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.

Marinetti’s manifesto glorified the new technology of the automobile and the beauty of its speed, power & movement.

Futurist painting used elements of neo-impressionism & cubism to create compositions that expressed the idea of the dynamism, the energy & movement, of modern life.

Chief artists associated with futurism were Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Gino Severini.

Marinetti’s manifesto inspired a group of young painters in Milan to apply Futurist ideas to the visual arts.

Umberto Boccioni, Carlo CarrΓ , Luigi Russolo, Giacomo Balla, and Gino Severini published several manifestos on painting in 1910.

Giacomo Balla - β€˜Canto patriottico - Piazza Siena' - 1915

πŸ”†πŸš΄πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ”†πŸ›΅πŸ”†πŸš—πŸ”†πŸ›΅πŸ”†πŸš΄πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ”†

Like Marinetti, they glorified originality and expressed their vociferous disdain for artistic traditions of the past.

In the beginning Futurists wanted capture visually the dynamic perception of movement, speed, & change.

To achieve this, the Futurist painters adopted Picasso & Braque’s Cubist technique using fragmented & intersecting plane surfaces.

They also used outlines to show several simultaneous views of an object.

#PAM #PAMFAM #Futurism
πŸš€#FuturismπŸš€

But most importantly Futurists sought to portray the object’s movement, so their works typically include β€˜rhythmic spatial repetitions’ of an object’s outlines during transit.

Perhaps they were influenced by Marcel Duchamp’s landmark work Nude Descending a Staircase.

The effect resembles multiple photographic exposures (MPE) of a moving object. Perhaps they were influenced by photographer Eadweard Muybridge’s work capturing a horse galloping via MPE.

An example is Balla’s painting Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash (1912), in which a trotting dachshund’s legs are depicted as a blur of multiple images.

The Futurist paintings differed from Cubist work in other important ways.

While the Cubists favored still life & portraiture, the Futurists preferred subjects such as speeding automobiles and trains, racing cyclists, dancers, animals, and urban crowds.

Futurist paintings feature a riot of bright & vibrant colors & reveal dynamic compositions in which rhythmically swirling forms resemble β€˜violent’ movement.

Boccioni also became interested in sculpture, publishing a manifesto on the subject in the spring of 1912.

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 Sant’Elia’s visionary architectural drawings of highly mechanized cities & boldly modern skyscrapers influence some of the most imaginative 20th-century architectural planning.

Boccioni and Sant’Elia both died during military service in 1916.

Boccioni’s death, combined with expansion of the group’s personnel & the sobering realities of the devastation caused by World War I, effectively brought an end to the Futurist movement.
