Origins & History

Futurism was founded in Italy in 1909 by poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. The movement embraced modernity, celebrating the machine age, speed, youth, and industrial cities while rejecting the past.

Futurist artists like Umberto Boccioni, Giacomo Balla, and Fortunato Depero used fragmented forms and 'lines of force' to depict movement and energy. Their typography experiments influenced all modern graphic design.

Futurism's dynamic energy and celebration of technology remain relevant in automotive branding, sports marketing, and tech startups. Motion graphics and parallax effects can channel Futurist principles.
