artist-Futurists was a response to rapidly changing life in the early twentieth century. The dynamism of the era locomotive and airplane, vertigo perspectives century technology have forced artists to seek new areas of artistic tools that can pass the motion, speed, technical progress. They called for a total renewal of art through new technologies and materials. «In his canvases, we do not represent some static moments of a worldwide movement. We were attracted by the dynamic attitude ».

rather quickly futurism beyond the purely pictorial directions, many artists turned to experiments in other types of art. For the first time, viewers will be able to see Russia's futuristic experiments in the field of sculpture, architecture, graphic design.

Ideas «art future» quickly spread through Europe, find new supporters in different countries. However, a significant association of artists who call themselves futurists, except Italy, existed only in Russia. The proclaimed objectives of Marinetti were largely similar Russian masters, but the embodiment of the methods were quite different. Painters Natalia Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov, David and Vladimir Burliuk , Cyril Zdanevich , Kazimierz Malevitch , Olga Vladimirovna Rozanova , Alexander Ekster closer to the poet budetlyanami (Russian analogue of the way futurists), Vladimir Mayakovsky, Vassily Kamensky, Velimir Khlebnikov, Kruchenykh Alex , form the core of the society «Gilea». The result of close collaboration of poets, artists and critics «futuristic» focus was to create not only a new pictorial language, but also the publication of a series of authors' books, as well as production in 1913, the opera «Victory over the sun» (Michael Matyushin music, libretto and Alexei Kruchenykh Velimir Khlebnikov, scenery Kasimir Malevich).

The many public debates and lectures on new art, the publication of poetry anthologies, theory manifests and declarations - all of this futuristic action defined in the 1910 years of the twentieth century, the atmosphere of artistic life. The form of demonstrations - an energetic, sometimes aggressive, always stressed entertaining and sometimes farcical frankly - reported the Russian artistic life in a completely new features. The poet Vladimir Mayakovsky described Russian futurism as a character or clownery lubochnoy pictures: «daffy, red in the vorticity detina a little unintelligent, uncultured little, but always on! always bold and burning ... »

Instant change impressions in the art of violent twentieth century came to the place of regular rhythms of the past.
