Italian Futurism (Futurismo) was an avant-garde comprehensive artistic movement arising in Italy in the early 20th century (from 1909), celebrating speed, machines, violence, technology, and war, and seeking to destroy traditional art and social institutions. Beginning with Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's “Futurist Manifesto,” it expressed the dynamism of automobiles and industrial cities in painting, sculpture, architecture, and music. Main characteristics of Italian Futurism Praise of speed and machines: As exemplified by the famous phrase “A racing car is more beautiful than the Winged Victory of Samothrace,” industrial society's speed and mechanical beauty were regarded as ultimate beauty. Destruction of tradition and rebellion: Thoroughly rejected past cultural heritage, including museums, libraries, and academies. Dynamism (powerful movement): Sought to express temporal continuity, movement, and light on canvas rather than static appearances. Synthesis of the arts: sought to transform all areas of life, including literature, music, architecture, photography, fashion, and theatre, as well as painting and sculpture. Alignment with politics: Affirmed war as “the world's only hygiene,” later inclining toward the Fascist movement. Historical background and influence Its background lies in technological evolution and the emergence of large cities challenging established values as Italy, then an underdeveloped country, rapidly industrialized in the early 20th century. The movement influenced Russian Constructivism and Dada, but opinions on its value as an artistic movement are divided because of its glorification of war and political extremism.
