 Futurism (art) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Futurism has produced several reactions, including the literary genre of cyberpunk- in which technology was often treated with ambivalence - whilst artists who came to prominence during the first flush of the Internet, such as Stelarc, Natasha Vita-More and Mariko Mori, produce work which comments on futurist ideals.
Futurism influenced many other twentieth century art movements, including Art Deco, Vorticism, Constructivism and Surrealism.

Futurism was a far-reaching Italian movement that included poetry, literature, painting, graphics, typography, sculpture, product design, architecture, photography, cinema and the performing arts and focused on the dynamic, energetic and violent character of changing 20th century life, especially city life.
There is no doubt that Futurism was the first 'modern' attempt to reorganise art and society around technology and the machine ethic and, as a common ancestor of most 20th century art, there are intrinsic vestiges of Futurism to be found throughout avant-garde art during the whole of the twentieth century.

 Italian Futurism
Futurism was the first attempt in the 20th century to reinvent life as it was being transfixed by new technologies and conceive of a new race in the form of machine-extended man. Futurism succinctly reiterated a cognate set of ideas which reverberates all through a multitude of forms in 20th century art expression.
That Futurism existed as a movement and a cognate set of ideas common to many radical artists at the beginning of this century, is explored by Marjorie Perloff in The Futurist Moment: Avant-Garde, Avant Guerre, and the Language of Rupture (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1986).
It is perhaps the artistic answer to the graphic layout of the modern newspaper, which had radically changed in the later part of the 19th century due to technological innovations in typesetting and increased literacy among the masses.

 LEON TROTSKY Literature and Revolution Chapter 4— Futurism
FUTURISM is a European phenomenon, and it is interesting because, in spite of the teachings of the Russian Formalist school, it did not shut itself in within the confines of art, but from the first, especially in Italy, it connected itself with political and social events.
To reject art as a means of picturing and imaging knowledge because of one's opposition to the contemplative and impressionistic bourgeois art of the last few decades, is to strike from the hands of the class which is building a new society its most important weapon.
Whether for good or for bad, the "lathelike" art will remain for many years more, and will be the instrument of the artistic and social development of the masses and their æsthetic enjoyment, and this is true not only of the art of painting, but of lyrics, novels, comedies, tragedies, sculpture and symphony.

 C3 Gallery Pompei A.D. THREE REASONS WHY FUTURISM IS MORE CONTEMPORARY THAN EVER by Marco Bevolo
What we owe to Futurism -without excusing or leaving unmentioned some of its ideological and philosophical limits- is the courage to think big, the drive to invent one's future in spite of one's limited starting point, against all odds.
For example, although genuinely reactionary, futurism was -in the 1910s!- in favor of free love, abolition of marriage as a form of social constraint on the individual and political rights to vote for women, a legislative feature which would be introduced into Italian civil life in 1946 only.
And although being classified as a right-wing movement for its proximity with the regime, Futurism was genuinely internationalist, advocating the right for every nation to develop their own futurist avant-garde instead of imposing one style for all countries.
