Definition for Futurism
From Biology Forums Dictionary
Futurism in sculpture (early 20th century) utilized new materials and technology to explore three-dimensional space. It sought to destroy the past in order to institute a totally new society and a new art. Its basis rests in the objects of “modern” life and focuses on noise, speed, and mechanical energy—exhilaration. Futurist works follow mechanistic lines and include representations of motion.
