Futurism began in Italy. The artists last name is Boccioni. You do not get much more Italian then that, so this must be Futurism... Right???
Seriousy though, Futurism is based on the glorification of the machine and denunciation of classical art. This painting almost has mechanical qalities to it, and it is far from classical. Motion, speed, and dynamics are part of Futurism. The reds and the swirls in this painting almost give me the feeling of running. I also see some qualities that could lead to "punk" type of paintings as well. I love this piece, and can get lost in it...
