Futurism developed to glorify the urban life as well as machinery/industrialization. Futurism employs techniques of Divisionism (see Seurat's artwork!), Cubism features (specifically the analysis of energy), dynamism, urban subject matters, and depiction of movement. If you look at Umberto Boccioni's Unique Forms of Continuity in Space and also his The City Rises painting, you will get a pretty good idea of Futurism!

What is the difference between a forward contracts futures contracts and options?
Forwards and futures are essentially the same thing: a commitment to buy/sell at a certain date for a certain price. The difference is in futures contracts you're also committed to sell a certain quantity, whereas in a forward you're not.An options contract gives you the option, but not the obligation, to buy or sell. This is great if you're working with stocks. If you have a futures contract to buy 500 shares of Coca-Cola for $10 per share on January 15 and Coke closed at $8 on January 15, you just lost a thousand dollars. If you were long on a put with the same spread between strike and stock prices, you made $1000.Forwards and futures have a purpose in life--IF you're dealing commodities with the intention to use them. You make frozen pies. You know you need ten tons each of wheat, sugar and apples. If you have a futures contract for October delivery on all of those commodities, you know what your pies' materials value is going to be, hence you can publish a good price for your pies. But futures speculators--investors who buy futures with the intent of selling the product after delivery, or the contract to a producer (there is a secondary market in futures)--have a long and proud history of losing their asses on these, so I recommend against them as an investment vehicle.
Explain the difference between a put option and a short position in a futures contract?
Well, the first difference is the root difference between a futures contract and an option contract: in a futures contract you MUST complete the sale at the end of the contract (if you didn't buy it back before the settlement date) but in an option you CAN.Once we're past that, the short position in a futures contract--the person who has the item the contract is derived from, such as a thousand bushels of wheat--is the same as the buyer of a put. Both of them have the thing now, and will transfer title to it after settlement or exercise.
