Futurism emerged in the early twentieth century as one of the most radical avant-garde movements in European literature and art. The movement reflected the influence of industrialization, urbanization, and technological modernization on artistic consciousness. The purpose of this study is to analyze the theoretical foundations and aesthetic principles of Futurism in literature. The research
applies qualitative, comparative, and historical methods to examine the emergence of Futurism and its literary innovations. The findings demonstrate that Futurism rejected traditional artistic values and introduced new experimental forms focused on speed, movement, technology, and modernity. The study concludes that Futurism significantly influenced modernist and avant-garde literature and transformed the understanding of artistic expression in the twentieth century.
