FUTURISM

Futurism is the term first applied to art in an Italian poet Marinetti's manifesto, which sought to initiate a dynamic humanism: We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A roaring car that seems to run onshrapnel is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace. "With iconoclastic furyconcluded: "We want to demolish museums and libraries, fight elmoralismo, feminism and all opportunist and utilitarian vileness. Later artists who represent this trend as Boccioniand Severini support another manifesto of futurist painters who insist on the issue of speed comoexpresión the maelstrom of modern life
-For these impressionism had stopped at the umbaral and representation of a horse with four legs must be added another twenty and give it a triangular impression.
Similarly, the sound can be represented suchas succession of waves and color as a vibration of prismatic shape.
-Characteristic of this style will give you position objects on the plane with a desire to represent movement
'It was a movement with many authors committed to the fascism that did not find too manyfollowers, leaving a legacy sensitivity to the typical objects of our time-machine and amodern wing size, speed.




Reading the following may be enlightening:
"The gesture played on the canvas is no longer a fixed moment in universal dynamism.Simply be the dynamic sensation itself [...]. Because of the persistence of the image on theretina, moving objects multiply themselves they constantly change their shape as rapid vibrations in their mad career. in this way, a moving horse has not four legs, but twenty, and their movements are triangular. 
"
Umberto Boccioni
