Futurism
Italian artistic and literary movement. "Soul" of the movement was the Italian poet and writer F.T. Marinetti, who published in 1909 (in the French newspaper Figaro) the Manifesto of Futurism. In 1910, three more futuristic manifestos circulated, among them the Manifesto of the Futurists painters. The cult of the machine, the rejection of art of the past and the propagation of the destruction of museums were some of the basic ideas of the Futurists. The futuristic paintings represented people and objects in motion, while the futuristic poetry was using images from the world of industry and a deliberately distorted vocabulary. Although that cinema has been greeted as an ideal expressive medium, futuristic movies have not ever filmed. After the First World War, the fortunes of the futuristic movement associated largely with those of Fascism. Boccioni, Kara, Ball, Russolo and Severini were the most important representatives of Futurism in painting and sculpture, Sant’elia in architecture, Russolo (again) in music and Papini and Soffici in literature. "Branch" of Futurism could be considered the simultaneism of Delaunay, while there are many similarities between Futurism and Cubism and is undeniable its influence on artists such as Léger and Duchamp. Furthermore, a special mixture of Cubism and Futurism was the Russian Cube-Futurism, with main representatives Malevitch in visual arts and Maïakovski and Khlebnikov in poetry.
