Futurism was a movement of art which was meant to encourage transformation of Italy that was stuck in the past. Futurism was one movement that was seen with harshness and presented a strict view that was basically utilitarian view. Futurists were artists that wanted to give away the traditional aspect of Italy so that it can look forward and this meant that they wanted to go beyond the First World War and its consequences. They wanted to flourish and were fed up of the war conditions and for that they adopted strict order to control again. This political theme inspired Futurism.
