In the 19th century the Art Nouveau was in its
peak, but after that, in the 20th century new styles were evolving
and started to get popular at those times.
Some of these modern movements that influenced the Graphic
Design and that I am going to talk a bit about them are:
Futurism:
This Italian movement started to appear in 1909 with its
leader being Filippo Marinetti who was a prose writer, novelist, poet and
dramatist.

| Filippo Marinetti |
The aim of this movement was to emphasize on the speed, energy, the power of
machine, and modern technology; rejecting harmony and order. With this movement
Marinetti’s had some other artists/painters who liked his idea of this modern
art and joined him in this movement.
Some of these artist were:
Umberto Boccioni:
an Italian painter.

Dada:
This movement began in 1916 as a reaction to the World War
1. It began at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, Switzerland with the founder of
this movement being Hugo Ball.

The aim of this movement was to rebel against what they saw
as cultural snobbery, bourgeois convention, and political support for the war.
It was a movement of satire with the main things used to spread their message
were the making of photomontages and typographies were also used. The name of
this movement is said that was chosen randomly from the dictionary.
Some artist within this movement:
Jean Hans Arp: a
German-French sculptor, painter and poet.

Tristan Tzara: a Romanian and French poet, playwright, and avant-garde performer.

Dada ended in Zurich with a riot that was caused because of
the Dada 4-5 event. After this, Tristan Tzara went to Paris, and there he met Andre Breton. They started formulating
theories that Breton started to call them Surrealism. From here Dada started to
evolve in the European cities with one of these countries being Berlin,
Germany; and here it included some artist, such as:
Johannes Baader:
a German writer and artist.
