El futurismo es el movimiento de las corrientes de vanguardia artística, fundado en Italia por Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, quien redactó el Manifeste du Futurisme, publicado el 20 de febrero de 1909, en el diario Le Figaro de París. Nosotros afirmamos que la magnificencia del mundo se ha enriquecido de una belleza nueva: la belleza de la velocidad. Un automóvil de carreras, con su radiador adornado de gruesos tubos parecidos a serpientes de aliento explosivo... un automóvil que ruge, que parece correr sobre la metralla, es más bello que la Victoria de Samotracia. Marinetti, febrero 1909

Futurism (Italian: Futurismo) was an artistic and social movement that originated in Italy in the early 20th century. It emphasized speed, technology, youth, and violence, and objects such as the car, the aeroplane, and the industrial city. Although it was largely an Italian phenomenon, there were parallel movements in Russia, England, and elsewhere. The Futurists practiced in every medium of art including painting, sculpture, ceramics, graphic design, industrial design, interior design, urban design, theatre, film, fashion, textiles, literature, music, architecture, and even gastronomy. Its key figures were the Italians Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Gino Severini, Giacomo Balla, Antonio Sant'Elia, Bruno Munari, Benedetta Cappa and Luigi Russolo, the Russians Natalia Goncharova, Velimir Khlebnikov, Igor Severyanin, David Burliuk, Aleksei Kruchenykh and Vladimir Mayakovsky, and the Portuguese Almada Negreiros. It glorified modernity and aimed to liberate Italy from the weight of its past. Cubism contributed to the formation of Italian Futurism's artistic style. Important Futurist works included Marinetti's Manifesto of Futurism, Boccioni's sculpture Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, and Balla's painting Abstract Speed + Sound (pictured). To some extent Futurism influenced the art movements Art Deco, Constructivism, Surrealism, Dada, and to a greater degree Precisionism, Rayonism, and Vorticism.
