In the first decades of the 20th century, industrialised, mechanised society made inroads into art and everyday life. The Italian futurists proclaimed a new era, with the growing industrial sector and its machines as the aesthetic ideal. In a time of mass production and the assembly lines that Henry Ford introduced in his factories, artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia and Gösta Adrian-Nilsson portrayed bodies reduced to mechanical objects.
