"The art of the past is great nonsense, based on moral, religious and political principles. Only in futuristic art does art truly reveal itself."
Carlo Carra.
Futurism is an Italian art movement that was created between 1909 and 1944 (see what i mean about the past.) its a unique art style that rebelled against the times (sounds like my friend Jenny). Futurism was all about speed, noise, pollution, machinery and the city sprawls; it was a way of embracing the coming future whilst enjoying the comforts of that modern world!
Futurism artists explore every form of expression; from painting and sculpting to poetry and literature, and lesser so in photography.
Futurism became popular between the 1920/30s when many Italian futurist began supporting the movement in hope of modernizing their own society's.

Umberto Boccioni
Italian Painter 1882-1916
“With the writer Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, he was a leading figure in the futurist movement, the paintings and sculptures he executed from 1910-11 to 1914-15 have shaped our image of the first Italian avant-garde to this day.”
(Book;Futurism; Sylvia Martin)
Umberto Boccioni (1882 - 1916) wrote the Manifesto of Futurist Painters in 1910 in which he vowed: "We will fight with all our might the fanatical, senseless and snobbish religion of the past, a religion encouraged by the vicious existence of museums. We rebel against that spineless worshipping of old canvases, old statues and old bric-a-brac, against everything which is filthy and worm-ridden and corroded by time. We consider the habitual contempt for everything which is young, new and burning with life to be unjust and even criminal."

He is also one of the first theorists of electronic music.
