To celebrate the centenary of Futurism, which first made its impression on the art world in 1909 by the Italian poet, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, was truly inspiring.
Futurism: An artistic movement begun in Italy in 1909 that violently rejected traditional forms so as to celebrate and incorporate into art the energy and dynamism of modern technology. Launched by Filippo Marinetti, it had effectively ended by 1918 but was widely influential, particularly in Russia on figures such as Malevich and Mayakovsky.
