Etymology

The term 'Futurism' was first coined by Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in his manifesto published in 1909. Marinetti's manifesto celebrated the technological advancements and the dynamic energy of the early 20th century, rejecting the artistic traditions of the past. The movement was closely associated with the broader cultural climate of modernism in Europe, reflecting a sense of optimism about the future. In subsequent years, Futurism expanded beyond art into literature, music, and even politics, influencing various Italian artists and thinkers. Despite its initial prominence, the movement faced criticism for its ties to fascism and nationalism, particularly during World War I and II, leading to a decline in its popularity after the 1920s.
