Umberto Boccioni
Umberto Boccioni (1882-1918) together with Tommaso Marinetti are the main representatives of Italian futurism. In February 1910 he published the prominent "Manifesto of Futurist Painting", in which he pursued artists to give up the outdated and traditional norms. They should have dedicated themselves to a new art, which corresponded to the mechanization of the future. Posthumously Boccioni's works were presented documenta I-III.
Boccioni's works are characterized by a dramatically tense fragmentation of surfaces. Following the scientific principles of light he thought that not only moving, but also static bodies can produce an equally dynamic effect - because basically everything is subject to the dynamics of the universe.
The sculpture "Forme della Uniche Continuitae Nello Spazio" ("Unique Forms of Continuity in Space") was a milestone of modern art and is considered one of the masterpieces in the collection at the MoMA, New York. Boccioni's sculpture is also displayed on the present Italian 20 Century Masterpieces
