Realism

The second half of 19th century was known as the positive age. A new age of development even in the art world.
Realism was usually done in dull colors and done with brushes of diffrent sizes and shapes in a swift brush movements of strokes. Realism was a new truth to painting showing people as the really where in life.

Romanticism

Beginning in the last decades of the 18th century, it transformed poetry, the novel, drama, painting, sculpture, all forms of concert music (especially opera), and ballet. It was deeply connected with the politics of the time, echoing people's fears, hopes, and aspirations. It was the voice of revolution at the beginning of the 19th century and the voice of the Establishment at the end of it.

This last shift was the result of the triumph of the class which invented fostered , and adopted as its own the romantic movement: the bourgeoisie.

[In other words romanticism was a love movement usually drawn with lots of reds and oranges. The artist would have put passion into his or her works of art.]

Futurist

Futurism is a modern art movement founded in 1909 but fully took of around the first world war
. The aim of Futurism was to object to traditional conventionalism and to wage war against the art of the 19th Century. The 20th Centaury was a new time when people were starting to prosper, health and hygiene was getting more sophisticated and people were living longer. The world was changing but art wasn't. Futurism was about getting art to evolve and become more sophisticated and deviate from the ways of the traditional artists.
The modern art movement of Futurism involved major artists such as Filippo Marinetti, Giacomo Balla and Umberto Boccioni. These artists waged war with the art world in one of the most vivid and confronting modern art movements to ever take place.

This painting by Umberto-boccion 'Elasticity ' (1912) looks as if it is horse in motion,I personally think this painting has huge comparison to the cubism movement as it looks as if the painter took different paintings to make one.
