Futurism
Futurism lasted from 1909 - 1944.
Futurism is a revolutionary Italian movement that celebrated modernity, the vision was outlines in a series of manifestos that had attacked the long tradition of Italian art in favour of a new avant-garde.
They had glorified industrialization, technology and transport along with speed, noise and the energy of urban life.
Futurism celebrated the advanced technology and urban modernity, committed to the new the members wished to destroy the older forms of culture and to demonstrate the beauty of modern life.
This painting was made by, Umberto Boccioni. He was an Italian sculptor, painter, printmaker and writer and as one of the principal figures of Futurism he had helped shaped the movement's revolutionary aesthetic as a theorist and an artist. His art was concerned with dynamism of form and with a breakdown of solid mass in his sculpture he continued to influence artists long after his death.
This painting is called 'Elasticity by Umberto Boccioni 1912'. This has a lot more warm colours than the other two which makes the painting seem more happy. The reds, oranges and yellows take up most of the centre of the painting, while some blues and greens take the outer edges. Although you cannot see what the painting is trying to mean it is still something beautiful to look at. By the top right corner it looks like ship sails, although I'm not sure what its meant to represent, it does fit with the rest of the work.

These are some Futurism art pieces that I quite like, the first one is a mixture of warm colours with a few cold colours near the bottom. Although you cant make sense of what is happening entirely, it still has a sense of mystery of what the main purpose of those figures are or what made the artist create this. It is created by Carlo Carrà, 'Funeral of the Anarchist Galli' 1910-11.
