Futurism is a new art movement arose in Italy during early 20th century. It emphasized speed, youth, and violence, and interested in new technology such as cars, televisions even industrial city. “Dynamic, energetic, and violent character of changing the twentieth-century life, especially city life.”( ) Futurism turns central into the urban place and highlighted urbanization. In music, futurism rejected traditionally and introduced experimental sounds that inspired by machines, techniques, and mass communication. Some famous composers involved in futurism and created influential works such as “Art of Noises” by Luigi Russolo.
E.g. Luigi Russolo Luigi Russolo was an Italian Futurist artist. Rather than pure composer, I think

This work is more like an art installation and exhibited in Vancouver Art gallery before.
Visual Art: World War I made lots of hot issues came up, such as African slaves, Titanic, and territorial conflict. People in Europe lived in the shadow of tradition and want to free themselves into future. Futurist artists might verge on total abstraction but the idea derived from the physical world. Futurists critique all forms of imitation, harmonies and soft works due to they want to free themselves into the future( Arnason, 2013, p.158).
E.g. Umberto Boccioni Boccioni Famous as his sculpture, a dynamic fusion of his sculptural forms and the surrounding environment. He likes to show the violent action, speed, and dynamics through solid objects. The work Unique Forms of Continuity in Space is the representative of futurism. This work depicted a “machine man” that can be explained as “ superman” in order to express the meaning of Superman. The machine man made by fluttering, curving planes of bronze, which is one of the most stable metals. Overall, the Unique Forms of Continuity in Space demonstrated the idea of strength and freedom that can be clearly seen as the ideology of

Because both of them combined traditional art projects with new technology or inspired by mass media. Pop art started in mid-1950s Britain and grew up in the United States, pop artists engaged in a simultaneous critique of “high art” and against all other kinds of art such as expressionism. Artists no longer concerned with the heroic art of painting but interested in the immediate environment of their popular culture and sought to incorporate them into art. Richard Hamilton proposed that pop art is popular, transient, expendable, low cost, mass produced, young, witty, sexy, gimmicky, glamorous and big business (Arnason, 2013, p.456).
E.g. Richard Hamilton Richard Hamilton was a pioneer of pop art in Britain. Like I mentioned before, he proposed the ideology of pop art. The work Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing? was one of the famous pop art work. The frame depicted a modern life that couple has furnished their apartment with products of mass culture: television, tape recorder etc. (Arnason, 2013, p.457). Hamilton used collage to demonstrate the modern apartment and also used this work to critique
Futurism was an Italian artistic movement that that began in 1909. It rejected the traditional forms of art that were confined to just the canvas and statutes of old. It celebrated and incorporated the energy and enthusiasm of modern technology: Filippo Marinetti created Futurism. In the launching of this movement, Marinetti took his understanding of space and time, but also commoditized the enhancement of them. This concept helped to shape modernism and the generalized concept of the future through art. He is an artist of many forms: Painting, music, plays, film, scenic design, and dance. Through these mediums, the Futuristic medium embraced industrialization and technical invention to go against Mussolini’s fascism at the time.
Prior to the Great War, under an autocratic regime, the innovative intellectuals within society felt that the institution oppressed their views and creative instinct. In contrast, post World War one Germany brought with it an extremely diverse and radical culture. It is with the benefit of hindsight that it becomes apparent that this period was an opportunity for those pioneering modernists to sow their ideology in fertile lands. Those observers who nostalgically refer to the Weimar years as the ‘Golden Twenties’ are clearly not referring to the socio-economic distresses of the period.
In order to discuss pop art I have chosen to examine the work and to some extent lives of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol who were two of the main forces behind the American movement. I intend to reflect the attitudes of the public and artists in America at this time, while examining the growing popularity of pop art from its rocky, abstract expressionist start in the 1950s through the height of consumer culture in the 60s and 70s to the present day.
Modernity held movements that paved the path for new ways of thinking and expression as a result of the industrial revolution. Two of these movements are: Surrealism, and the school of Bauhaus. Although these movements are quite different in appearance, they both wanted to challenge the traditional customs of the time. Whether it be eliminating conscious editing of thoughts by the Surrealists or producing a new sophisticated approach to design in Bauhaus, these movements created unique artworks that reflected the times of change they existed in.
Filippo Marinetti was an Italian author and poet from the early 1900's to the mid-1920's. Marinetti was the founder of a style of art that started in about 1909 known as Futurism. Futurism is the product of the Cubist movement even though it didn't originally start out that way. Originally, there was no specific style to the Futurism movement and it took inspiration from a lot of other periods such as Symbolism and Post-Impressionism. Futurism became of on the more important stepping stones of 20th century art history. Artists such as Umberto Boccioni, Giacomo Balla, Gino Severini, and Carlo Carrà took Marinetti's ideas and turned it into art, exploring the concepts of space and movement. Marinetti founded the Futurism movement with the Futurist Manifesto in which he says "We want no part of it, the past...we the young and strong Futurists!" Marinetti hated the old forms of politics and art and that he wanted to embrace the future of new technology, travel, warfare, nationalism, & violence. The philosophy
violence and change. Artists who worked in traditional media such as painting and sculpture, and in an eclectic range of styles. Some people went with the movement while others opposed it. I enjoy the different types of eclectic movement in art such as the paintings, drawings and the designs. It was not until 1911 that a distinctive futurist style emerged and then it was a product of Cubist influence. Futurism was not immediately identified with a distinctive style. Futurists were fascinated by the problems of representing modern experience, and strived to have their paintings evoke all kinds of sensations and not merely those visible to the eye. Futurist art brings to mind noise, heat, and even smell of the metropolis.
In the mid-1950s in Britain and late 1950s in the United States pop art is a movement that rise. Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton in Britain, and Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns in the United States Shaped the pop art movement among the early artists. Art itself refers not as much as to the attitude behind the art. Mass culture, such as advertising, comic books, and mundane cultural objects of pop art employs shape, form, value or line. As well as in expansion of those ideas, pop art interpreted as a reaction to the then-dominant idea of abstract expressionism. Art movement that precede postmodern art, or are some of the earliest examples of postmodern themselves are known as post art and minimalism.
Pop art is an experimental art which surfaced in Great Britain in the early 1950’s. One of the major art movements of the twentieth century, it came into its own in the United States in the late 1950’s. This art form incorporated photographs in ways that had not been utilized before. It utilized mass-culture imagery and iconography, in contrast to the traditional tendencies of fine art. Pop art is considered to be one of the last modern art movements and served as a precursor to postmodern art. The art form is characterized by themes and techniques derived from mass culture, including advertising and comic books. Perhaps one of the most famous Pop artists, is Andy Warhol.
Filippo Marinetti is an Italian poet who started the Futurist art movement. Filippo Marinetti spent the early years of his life in Alexandria, Egypt. Marinetti found his love for literature during his school years. With this fascination he started a school magazine, Papyrus; which then almost got him expelled him for being so scandalous.Later he obtained a degree in law at the Università degli Studi di Genova. Although he got a degree in law, he decided to never become a lawyer, so he chose to go with a literary career. In 1898 Marinetti published poetry for the first time, the work was titled Les Vieux Marins. In 1907 Marinetti visited the Abbaye de Créteil, this greatly influenced Marinetti’s Futurist ideas. And now Marinetti is best known for be the founder of Futurism by publicizing The Manifesto of Futurism in 1909.He has also had his fair share of influencing people. Since Marinetti also publicized Futurism abroad, was influenced another kind of style,Cubo-futurism. Cubo-futurism is the result of merging Cubism and Futurism.Even Dadaism and...
All three artist is from the different movement so the style will be very different to each other. Texture are one of the element that representing each different art movement. Late Renaissance style want to make the human look real so the surface is really smooth. Impressionist style is the ruff and sketchy texture so the surface texture are ruff. The Futurist artist want make their art to look speedy so the surface is smoother but it is different from the surface texture from the Late Renaissance style.
The Sophist, written by Plato in 360 B.C.E. attempts to search for definitions through deep philosophical searching. The persons of dialogue in this piece are Theodorus, Theaetetus, Socrates (who mainly serves as a silent authority), and an Eleatic Stranger, who leads the majority of the dialogue. As the dialogue commences, Socrates asks the stranger what is thought of sophists, statesman, and philosophers in his home country of Italy. However, Socrates does not simply ask the Stranger to define the three, he instead asks him how the three types of men are regarded in his country- under one, two, or three names. As the men (Theaeteteus and the Stranger) debate the likes of the “angler” and the “sophist” they find that the definition of the latter divides into different forms and thus eludes them. The trouble within the dialogue becomes: how does one define the sophist at all if neither men can define or characterize the group to which he belongs?
The Pop art movement, was a movement where medium played a huge part in the society, with it reflecting on advertisements, comic strips and even celebrities, like Marilyn. This movement also has a large background and artists that are deeply connected. The pop art movement didn’t just take place in the United States, it actually started in Britain. It started with an independent group, with a mixture of different types of artists, from sculptors to painters. Though by the mid 1960’s, the United States pop art had taken on the movement and it was so popular and bold, that it soon influenced other countries such as Britain.
He used sarcasm to convey his feelings towards society and its changing standards. He would poke fun at the modern way of living and how materialistic of a society this world has become. This style of art that took inspiration from popular culture through the newspaper, advertisements, and television is called Pop art. Hamilton was one of the most influential artists in Pop culture. His collage, Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing?
One of the most profound differences is the way both types of music came about. Rock and roll started back in the early 60’s. It was a time when the Vietnam war had just begun. Steppenwolf, The Beetles, Jimi Hendrix, and The Doors all were sending out soulful messages through their music. They were singing about war, drugs, and love instead of war. There lyrics were from the heart. It provoked feelings of rage for the government, and love for one another. The rock and roll movement began out of pent up energy that had to be released in an positive manner. It had very pure, honest intentions. On the other hand pop, short for popular, music was contrived from the beginning. It too had it’s beginnings in the 60’s starting with the Monkeys. Four guys were brought together by some corporate bigwigs to create an American version of the Beetles. Little did the public know that they were not even singing their own songs. They were lip-singing the whole time. But, they managed to top the charts and make young girls faint. That could be considered the first pop music.
Similar to her period of art, today abstraction is used by many artists. The main difference distinguished between today's art and Kollwitz’s period in history are the issues that are brought up as subject matter. During Kollwitz’s time World War One and World War Two were both huge events that occurred in history that inspired the work of many artists. Today, there is a more broad range of subject matters in art, some of which that acknowledge current topics such as issues on police brutality, terrorism, sexism and
