Definition:
The idea of Futurism was originally created by F. T. Marinetti, who published the first Futurist
manifesto in 1909 in the Figaro. Marinetti was always Futurism's strongest supporter - and
he eventually became just about its only defender between the early 1930s and his death in 1944.
In an attempt to fuse modern technology with aesthetic experience, poponents of Futurism focused on works which represented machines, speed and motion, thus rejecting many of the traditional aesthetics of the 19th century which focused on nature.
