Futurism was an early 20th century art movement that originated in Italy and emphasized concepts of the future like speed, technology, youth, and violence. The movement was founded in 1909 by the Italian writer Filippo Marinetti through his Futurist Manifesto published in Le Figaro newspaper. Futurists worked in many artistic mediums but admired technology and the modern world while loathing traditions of the past. Key figures introduced included Filippo Marinetti, Fortunato Depero, Enrico Prampolini, and Guillaume Apollinaire, a French poet who experimented with typography in his works.
