Abstract
The brash poet, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti {1876-1944) first announced the Futurist movement in his Manifêste de futurisme in Le Figaro, published in Paris on February 20, 1909. It was a violent revolt against the imitative sentimentalism of the arts in Italy, a blast at the "cult of the past” and an opening wedge for a new aesthetic theory to evolve as an expression of the radical changes in science.
