After the release of the manifesto Marinetti was joined by other futurism idealists including Umberto Boccioni and Carlo Carra.
Filippo Marinetti:
His artwork was seen as being a niusence to conventional society and the art establishment, an example to give an idea of his artistic techniques is "if a painting was that of a man with a moustache, the whiskers would be depicted with the bristles of a shaving brush pasted into theb canvas.
Umberto Boccioni:
Boccioni's work centered around the portrayal of dynamism, technology and speed like most of the futurist artists. His most important works included "Riot in the city" which illustrates a violent uprising in an art institution, but "The City Rises" is conisidered to be a better piece of his. Flowing brush strokes and angles within the painting give it a somewhat abstract feel.
Boccioni later developed a keeness for sculpture.

Carlo Carra:
Futurism being his best known and most influential movement, it was shortlived. His futurist phase ended near the beginning of world war 1. He began dealing with stillness and form within his work rather than motion and speed. However he still incorporated some if his futurist concepts into his new work.
