Futurism conveyed the technological dynamics of twentieth century life. The futurist style glorified the machine age and war, and favoured the rise of Fascism. In 1909 Filippo Marinetti created his first manifesto of the art style. In bombastically provocative language the manifesto, violently anarchical in tone, announced the birth of a new literary and social movement and called upon the young to flock to the banner,. The general tone of the manifesto with its exaltation of violence and conflict owed much to the influence of Nietzsche, who despite later repudiation had also influenced by Boccioni and the other Futurists, and the passion for movement and change for their own sake derived from Bergson, who at that time enjoyed a vague among the advanced intelligentsia of Italy. Futurist painters had no specific visual style.
" Idea was all in one content" The Futurist practiced in every medium of art, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, graphic design, industrial design, interior design, theatre, film, fashion, textiles, literature, music and architecture.

It has been proposed that Abstract Speed + Sound was the central section of a narrative triptych suggesting the alteration of landscape by the passage of a car through the atmosphere.¹ The related Abstract Speed, the car has passed would have been the flanking panels. Indications of sky and a single landscape are present in the three paintings; the interpretation of fragmented evocations of the car’s speed varies from panel to panel. Crisscross motifs, representing sound, and a multiplication of the number of lines and planes.
