Possible Artists – The Futurists
• It was an Italian movement which spread quickly
throughout Europe including Russia
• The poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti (18761944) ‘invented it’ in 1908 with a Manifesto
• Most influential artists Umberto Boccioni (18821916), Luigi Russolo (1885-1947) and Carlo
Carra (1881-1966), Giacomo Balla (1871-1958)
and Gino Severini (1883-1965)
Futurist ideas
• Celebrated the new
technology – car,
machinery and science,
and war as a means of
changing the old order
• Idea that new
technologies overturned
what had gone before
and there needed to be
new, bolder art forms
Futurist ideas
• Emphasis on
movement and the
dynamic - Idea of
everything moving
and images
appearing and
disappearing on the
retina and capturing
that – action passing
through the centre of
a painting
Style
• Painting influenced by
the ideas of colour
divisionism
• Also influenced by
Cubism and Picasso
and the idea of
dividing up shapes to
show different
viewpoints and
movement
Duchamp – Nude descending a
staircase
• Although Duchamp was not
part of the movement his
painting showing the
movement of a man
walking down the stairs
was influential.
Photography had made it
possible to identify each
stage of a movement.
• You could use photography
well in this project
