Futurism (1909-1944), which actually owes its inception to poetry, was the first major art movement of the 20th century. It encompassed not only nearly every form of creative expression, including practical arts like architecture, advertising, and product design. Interestingly, there were two very separate and very different Futurist movements during roughly the same time period, one in Italy and one in Russia, though the Russian Futurists are often overlooked because the Italian movement was much more heavily publicized. Though the cores of both movements were relatively short-lived, Futurism left lasting effects on many forms of art and design, particularly book design and typography.
