This is a well know futurists work. This piece was made by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. The name of this piece is: THE FUTURIST MANIFESTO (1909)

I like this piece of work because it is very interesting and is also one of his first pieces. I also like it because the colours stand out loads and because of how he has used the shapes to create this picture. This picture fits in with futurists urban designs because of the person on the bike.
