Speed and Passion

Futurism, abandoning the past and depicting the future with speed.

Speaking of the future,

What do you have in mind?

It is a streamlined car and plane in the movie;

It is the light and color in just visiting;

Or a building complex with a sense of science and technology?

Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what?

These words and pictures that we can easily think of,

At the beginning of last century,

It's just a prototype.

This group of artists, known as futurism,

Use lines to describe dynamics and speed.

Animation with strokes,

Is it cool to have wood?

Then let's take a look!

Futurism was originally a literary movement initiated by the Italian poet marinetti. 1909, marinetti published the Manifesto of Futurism, calling for subverting all traditional arts and creating a brand-new art form that can keep up with the pace of life in the mechanical age.

Futurism was born, which swept the world for a while, spreading from the literary world to the fields of art, music, drama, film, photography and so on, with far-reaching influence under the impetus of various declarations and statements. Futurism painting is emerging in this era background.

Futurism celebrates modern machines, science and technology, and even war and violence. They are obsessed with speed and sports.

"The world has become more magnificent because of a new sense of beauty. This kind of beauty is the beauty of speed. ..... a car as fast as a laser gun is more beautiful than the statue of Victory Wing in Samothrace. " -1909, futurism declaration

Futurism is different from other schools in that all other schools have works first, and then derivative schools, while Futurism is the declaration of schools first, and then works.

Futurists are exploring how to display the contents of the manifesto on canvas and make it a real visual form.

19 10 February 1 1, the declaration of futurists was published and signed by five painters, determined to carry forward the futurists.

After two years of brewing and precipitation, 19 12 February, futurism held its first exhibition in a Paris gallery, which marked the formal establishment of futurism school.

Giacomo balla, Umberto Boccioni, gino severini, Carlo Carra and Luigi Russo.

Futurism painting is dedicated to expression.

"The whirlpool of modern life-

Steel, fanaticism, pride and galloping life. "

Painters try to paint on canvas.

Explain the process of movement, speed and change.

Space no longer exists,

Objects will never be at rest,

They never stop moving on the canvas.

Futurist and cubist works,

There is a mysterious similarity.

Futurist painters used to learn from

Draw nutrition from cubist works,

But what they want to convey,

This is a completely different idea.

Cubist works are static geometric compositions,

Show static beauty through decomposition and reconstruction,

Futurism pursues movement and change,

Describe speed and passion.

Giacomo balla, an Italian oil painter, sculptor and craft designer, is an important figure in the future painting school.

Examples of different times are fixed in the same picture, like an eternal slow movie, and superimposed like a continuous movie. From giacomo balla's works, we can feel his exploration of strength and speed.

Umberto Boccioni, an Italian painter and sculptor, is the core figure of the Futurism School. He is not only an advocate of futurism, but also an outstanding theorist.

He applied marinetti's thoughts to the field of visual arts, conceived and drafted the Manifesto of Futurist Painters, the Manifesto of Futurist Painting Techniques in 19 10 and the Manifesto of Futurist Sculptor in 19 12. In the process of trying to turn theory into reality, he is a talented futurist experimenter.

Severini's futurism is not only reflected in the Manifesto of Futurist Painters and Techniques he signed in 19 10, but also in his own manifesto published in 19 13.

In this declaration, he emphasized that "objective objects no longer exist" and called for the destruction of the concept of "material unity" in art.

Carlo Carra was one of the early members of futurism.

He advocated "painting with music, noise and smell". Therefore, in addition to the movement and speed advocated by futurism, some of his works also have his own apperception of vision, hearing and smell.

Luo is a self-taught artist. Among the five founders of the future school of painting, his works can be regarded as examples of this theory. Although he is not as creative as other painters, he can clearly explain the futuristic point of view, which is easily understood by the world.
