(( ) The Italian artist, Giacomo Balla, was one of the founders of Futurism Futurism was very fond of machines and things that moved, such as cars. The racing car was very important during this movement, and the futurists’ early pictures showed things moving. In his work Girl Running on the Balcony, Balla was trying to show movement by showing the girl’s legs running. Other works such as Dog on a Leash, showed speed by putting a number of images on top of one another. After futurism, cinematography (the cinema) came to take its place by showing pictures that really moved. Futurism came to an end with the First World War.

Futurism A modern art movement that started with Italian artists in 1909, finishing at the end of the First World War. Futurism liked machines and war and also showed things that move. Marcel Duchamp (France, ), the cubist and constructivist, used some of these ideas.
