Futurism, Sidney Janis Gallery, New York, 1954:

FUTURISM, initiated with the publication of Marinetti’s Manifesto of Futurism in 1909, was the most aggressive and, if short-lived, certainly the most polemic art movement of our time. Its revolutionary ideas were empiric rather than pedagogic and were filled with iconoclasm in its defiant repudiation of traditional art, supplanting idols of the past with the machine of the present.

I won’t pretend to know anything about art history, let alone the Futurism art movement, but these paintings are beautiful.
