Currently on view at Tate Modern is a ground-breaking exhibition celebrating the centenary of the Futurist Movement. Launched in 1909 by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti with the publication of the Manifesto of Futurism on the front page of the Paris newspaper Le Figaro, the Futurist Movement borrowed elements from Cubism and Divisionism in order to create a new style that broke free from tradition and expressed the energy and dynamism of modern life.
The exhibition highlights the work of key Futurists such a Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni and Gino Severini as well as works by other major artists such as Braque, Malevich and Duchamp.

The Tate brings together works from the original Futurist exhibition of 1912 that was held at the Galerie Bernheim in Paris and traveled to the Sackville Gallery in London and then throughout Europe.  The current display recalls the impact of the 1912 exhibit yet goes further with the examination of the relationship between Cubism and Futurism and how the two movements became linked. The exhibit also shows the influence of Futurism in Britiain and Russia and elements of the movement are found echoed in Vorticism and Russian Futurism.
