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.
