Detailed description
Futurism was an art movement that originated in Italy in the early 20th century. It emphasized speed, technology, and violence, and was strongly influenced by the work of Italian Futurist artists such as Umberto Boccioni and Giacomo Balla. Futurism reached its peak in the years before World War I, but its influence continued to be felt in the art world long after the war ended. In the 1930s, the Surrealist movement emerged as a reaction against the violence and chaos of Futurism, and many Futurist artists, including Boccioni and Balla, embraced Surrealism. Today, the legacy of Futurism can be seen in the work of many contemporary artists, including painters, sculptors, and architects.
