Join us for an exciting session as we dive into Futurism, the dynamic early 20th-century Italian art movement that celebrated the energy, speed, and vibrancy of modern life. Initiated by poet Filippo Marinetti in 1909, Futurism brought together visionary artists like Gino Severini, Giacomo Balla, and Umberto Boccioni who embraced technology, progress, and industrialization. Unlike traditional movements, the Futurists looked forward, aiming to inspire societal change and elevate the human experience. Although initially linked to political ideologies, including early European Fascism, the movement evolved post-World War I as many artists shifted to more traditional styles. Despite this, Futurist art remains a vivid, colorful, and distinctly urban blend of Post-Impressionism and Cubism. In this class, we'll explore this fascinating movement through a variety of media including images, YouTube documentaries, and DVD presentations. Get ready to be inspired by the bold and innovative spirit of Futurism!
