Cubist and Futurist Paintings

Paintings of Cubism, which broke objects into flat intersecting planes seen from several sides, and of Italian Futurism, which tried to show speed, machines and the energy of the modern city. A work belongs here when the cited article calls the painting Cubist or Futurist. It excludes Surrealist and abstract paintings of the same decades. The group follows the movement the cited article names for the painting and not the school of later followers.
