Invented in 1909 by poet Filippo Tommas Mari it embraced the arts in their widest sense. It was a revolutionary Italian movement that celebrated modernity. The futurist vision was put forward in a series of manifestos that attacked traditional Italian art in favour of a new avant grade. They promoted heavy industrialisation, technology and transport swell as urban life in general. Futurists adopted the same visual style as cubists but with their own twist in which the subject is presented in a more dynamic way than in cubism.
