Modern Art Movements Futurism - Richard Humphreys

Futurism is an art movement and social phenomenon that has influenced everything from art to politics, music to theater, and literature to cinema. In this book, Richard Humphreys provides a detailed analysis of Futurism, which emerged in 1909 as a brilliant idea of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.

He examines how the Futurists were influenced by cities, technology, speed, and the violent environment around them, and how they drew inspiration from the ideas of thinkers like Bergson and Nietzsche and put them into practice. In doing so, he mentions many artists such as Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Wyndham Lewis, and Kazimir Malevich.

He traces Futurism's development from its origins in underground politics and bohemian culture, through the interwar period, and especially its enthusiastic but ultimately fatal relationship with the Mussolini regime.

This series introduces readers to the art movements that have left their mark on the last two centuries. It offers an illuminating perspective from which modern art can be viewed, both through its different periods and its entire developmental trajectory as a whole.
