Huzzah!
I’ve completed the article I had been writing on Futurism as part of my writings on Graphic Design History.
Firstly, please note that this isn’t in any way a critique of the movement, nor do I express my own thoughts. This article primarily acts as a way to get (mostly) students up to speed on what the art movements were about and how they went on to influence other major art movements - which in turn influenced graphic design.
