Discuss the tenets of Futurism.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
- The "Founding and Manifesto of Futurism" was written by Italian Filippo Marinetti and was published in the Paris newspaper Le Figaro in 1909.
- Reflecting antitraditional feelings and a distaste for a bourgeoisie seemingly secure in its complacency, Futurism rejected the political and artistic traditions of the past and called for a new art.
- The new style was called Futurism. The Futurists repudiated static art and sought to render what they thought of as the defining characteristic of modern urban life: speed.
- Futurism is focused on advancing technology and the dynamism that comes from technology's innovation, along with its violence.
- Giacomo Balla, Speeding Automobile, and Umberto Boccioni, Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, are examples of Futurist art.
