Futurism

I done some research on futurism that i found useful to look at.

Futurism began 100 years ago as a response to modern city life, breaking with old traditions and celebrating technology and industry.

Futurism Artists
Giacomo Balla (1871 - 1958)
Umberto Boccioni (1882 - 1916)
Kasimir Malevich (1878 - 1935)
Liubov Popova (1889 - 1924)

What is Futurism?
Futurism was a 20th century art movement. The Futurists loved speed, noise, machines, pollution, and cities; they embraced the exciting new world that was then upon them rather than hypocritically enjoying the modern world's comforts while loudly denouncing the forces that made them possible. Fearing and attacking technology has become almost second nature to many people today.

The Futurists explored every medium of art, including painting, sculpture, poetry, theatre, music, architecture and even gastronomy.
