Futurism (Art movement)
161 Pins
Futurism (Art movement) / Futurism was an artistic and social movement originating in Italy in the early 20th century. It emphasized speed, technology, youth, and violence, and objects such as the car, the aeroplane, and the industrial city. The Futurists practiced in every medium of art, embracing modern media such as film, sound recordings and architecture. Although it became associated with Italian Fascism, Futurist art hugely influenced modern art, and its visuals remain some of my favourite works of art.
Roman Britain
56 Pins
Roman Britain / Roman Britain (Latin: Britannia) was the area of the island of Great Britain governed by the Roman Empire from 55 BC to 410 AD. There are many stunning Roman structures and remains across the British Isles.

Pre Raphaelite Art
54 Pins
Pre Raphaelite Art / The Pre-Raphaelites was a group of English artists founded in 1848 who rejected the approach adopted by artists who succeeded Raphael and Michelangelo. Its members believed the Classical poses and elegant compositions of Raphael in particular, had been a corrupting influence on the teaching of art, hence their name.The Pre-Raphaelites sought a return to the complex colours & compositions of 14th-century Italian art. Some of my favourite paintings are Pre-Raphaelite.

HP Lovecraft and Lovecraft's New England / I've loved the works of Lovecraft since I was a teen, and it's great to see his works increase in influence; there's more art and literature inspired by HPL than ever before, and I love sharing it with others!
